Returning to training in a safe, hygienic and controlled manner is paramount for the AFL. The safety and wellbeing of our participants is our number one priority and accordingly the AFL Return to Play Framework (Framework) has been developed to ensure we return to play in a safe manner. The Framework has been informed by the National Principles for the Resumption of Sport and Recreation Activities and the AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport in a Post COVID-19 Environment, in consultation with health professionals and leaders in the football industry.

We encourage you all to take the time to plan, prepare and educate your members prior to the commencement of any activity.
