This role provides an opportunity to be part of that momentum by supporting player development, coaching education, school and community engagement, and stronger links between grassroots football and elite pathways. GDFC is seeking a leader who can bring credibility, energy and long-term thinking to this opportunity.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead, coach and mentor the GDFC Women’s team, setting clear standards for preparation, training, performance and culture.

• Develop academy-style programs that support emerging football talent.
• Introduce AFLW-standard coaching principles, leadership behaviours and high-performance expectations into the club environment.
• Build a strong, positive and sustainable football culture that attracts, retains and develops players, coaches and volunteers.
Desirable Candidate Profile
The desirable candidate will be an experienced senior coach, former AFLW-listed player, AFLW pathway coach or elite-level football leader with strong leadership qualities, a genuine passion for coaching and the ability to influence players across senior, development and junior programs.

The Club is seeking someone who understands that coaching is not only about game plans and match-day performance, but about developing people, building trust and leaving a lasting legacy.
Package and Support
The package and support arrangements will be negotiated with the successful candidate in line with their experience, qualifications, availability and the final scope and requirements of the role. This may include an appropriate remuneration structure and agreed support to assist the candidate’s transition and enable them to make a meaningful football and community impact in Glenorchy.
