MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING NAVIGATION SERVICE

As part of a broad range of mental health and wellbeing services, the AFLPA offers a free, confidential and professional counselling support for all current and past players.

This is a dedicated member service delivered by AHPRA registered psychologists, who specialise in elite sport and are located in all areas of the country.

Our Mental Health & Wellbeing Navigation Service is independent from other wellbeing support options that may be offered by clubs, agents and/or the AFL (although it can be a connected service if members choose so).

At a member’s request, this same service offer can extend to support families, partners and significant others.
