American Football Australia Statement on Concussion

American Football Australia recognises that concussion is a serious issue, with potential short- and long-term impacts on the health and wellbeing of our participants.

​

To ensure we are upholding the highest standards of care, our concussion policy has undergone a comprehensive review and has been aligned with trusted sources such as the Australian Sports Commission and other leading medical guidelines.

​

The safety of our athletes, coaches, officials, and the wider community remains our absolute priority, and we are committed to ongoing education, awareness, and best practice management in this important area.
