OverviewIn 1999, player feedback highlighted the need to promote and support the personal development of players off the field, both during their football careers and in the years immediately following their retirement.To address this need, the AFLPA established a network of personal support and development services throughout Australia, for all AFL players. All services offered to players fall under the umbrella of the AFLPA Player Development Program (PDP).

As a result, all areas of the program are linked to ensure that each player maximises their involvement and has access to the full range of services available.
