Make a report

If you have concerns about your safety or the safety of another child or young person, or have seen or heard something that just doesn’t feel right, it is important you say something.

  • As always if anyone is in immediate danger contact the police on 000.
  • Speak directly with someone you trust in football like a coach, team manager, umpire, official or club representative.
  • Write down your concerns and pass them onto your club or association via email or a letter. 
  • Raise a concern through the AFL's Integrity Portal
