Australian Football League is responsible for the administration and promotion of Australian Rules Football and is primarily involved in the operation of two nationwide league competitions, the AFL and AFLW competitions. The legacy of Indigenous Players is celebrated each year in the AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Rounds and AFLW Indigenous Rounds. Sir Doug Nicholls Round is a highlight of the football calendar and the celebrations recognise unforgettable moments and contributions of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander footballers and umpires who have paved the way for other Indigenous peoples in the game. These Indigenous rounds give the fans and people in the industry the opportunity to celebrate, acknowledge and thank Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players, volunteers, administrators, coaches, umpires, and fans, past and present, for their contributions to the football community. The AFL has a dedicated mental health and wellbeing team and a Social and Emotional Wellbeing practice stream. The industry mental health and wellbeing strategy acknowledges the ongoing impacts of racism on the social, emotional and cultural wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In partnership with AIPA, the AFL has a Social Emotional and Cultural Wellbeing Framework to guide the support of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Players.

This Framework, currently in its implementation phase, helps shape practice across all levels of the AFL industry, informing community mental health programs, talent pathways, and support for Indigenous staff, players and their families, while complementing broader system-wide work.
