The AFL will notify AFL Clubs and State Bodies of players who have nominated for the AFLW Pre-season Draft.

A player is eligible to nominate for the AFLW Pre-Season Draft if they successfully nominated for, but were not selected at, the 2025 AFLW National Draft.

Any player selected in the AFLW Pre-Season Draft will be provided with a one-year Tier Four contract ($70,030). 

Should a selected player be required to relocate, they will be provided with relocation benefits as set out in the CBA, including:

• Reasonable costs associated with relocating the player and their belongings.
• Living allowance of up to $16,500 for the purposes of supporting rent, living expenses etc.
• Player and Family travel and accommodation, including up to 6 return economy flights or petrol allowance for 6 trips and 4 nights accommodation at the Player’s new location.

It is up to Clubs to determine whether they need to interview a player and/or conduct a medical assessment.

If a nominated player was medically screened as a part of the 2025 draft combine, their medical information can be available from AFL medical staff on request.
