Official Business Risk Insurance Broker and Official Risk Partner of the AFLW and AFL.

Supporting AFL on and off the field

Every day at Marsh, we work with clients and their communities so they can confidently pursue their goals and dreams. As the Official Business Risk Insurance Broker and Official Risk Partner of the AFLW and AFL we have been providing the AFL with risk management advice and insurance solutions to help ensure that AFL players and their communities are protected on and off the field.

Proudly backing the next generation of AFL stars

We have been supporting the AFL for more than 20 years, and in 2024, we extended that support to include the AFL’s future stars, both girls and boys – who have been selected to participate in the Marsh AFL National Academy and Talent Pathways programs.

The Academy brings together the best young AFLW and AFL players in the country to access elite training and career development opportunities, both on and off the field.

Making a difference to the future of footy

Through Marsh’s sponsorship, the AFL is able to invest in opportunities to nurture talented young players so they have every opportunity to thrive in their future career in the AFLW and AFL. Our digital campaign puts a spotlight on the dreams of two such future stars. Click on the videos to hear their stories.

Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield and North Melbourne’s Harry Sheezel chat with Marsh AFL National Academy’s Josh Smillie who aspires to play for the AFL. They talk about what it will take for Josh to etch his name in history at the MCG, along with other great players of the game.

Meet AFLW legend Tayla Harris and young gun Alyssia Pisano who talk about Alyssia’s rise through the AFL’s Talent Pathways program, and the commitment it takes to thrive in the AFLW at an elite level.

Bringing you more of the game you love

  • Marsh AFL National Championships U18s

We’re also part of the Marsh McLennan group of companies. Together with Mercer, Guy Carpenter and Oliver Wyman, we form the world’s leading professional services firm offering insurance broking, risk advisory and people solutions.

The Discretionary Trust Arrangement is a Managed Investment Scheme made up of two parts: The Scheme Cover and The Insurance Cover.

The Discretionary Trust Arrangement was established to help manage the Members’ risk of personal injury. For more information please read the Australian Football National Risk Protection Program Discretionary Trust Arrangement Product Disclosure Statement.
