Supporting Club Growth and Sustainability
AFL Gippsland is proud to introduce the Club Health Check, a vital initiative designed to strengthen the future of local football clubs by assessing their current status and identifying key areas for growth and sustainability. Delivered through the statewide Club Development Lead network, this program ensures that community clubs receive tailored support to enhance their operations and long-term success.
The Club Health Check is a simple yet effective online survey that provides clubs with a comprehensive snapshot of their strengths and challenges across critical areas such as governance, volunteer support, financial stability, community engagement, and facilities. By proactively assessing these aspects, clubs can develop strategic plans to ensure their ongoing viability and success.
Upon completing the survey, clubs will receive personalised support from AFL Gippsland’s Club Development Lead, including:
AFL Gippsland’s Club Development Lead, Nicole Bertuna, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating: “Our goal is to empower clubs with the tools and support they need to build a strong and sustainable future. The Club Health Check provides a clear roadmap for success, helping clubs identify opportunities for improvement and take proactive steps towards long-term stability.”
All clubs will receive a link to the Club Health Check survey via email. Once completed, AFL Gippsland will follow up to discuss next steps and outline the tailored support available. To access the Club Health Check directly visit: > Club Health Check Survey
This initiative reinforces AFL Gippsland’s commitment to supporting community football at all levels, ensuring clubs remain strong, inclusive, and future-focused. We encourage all clubs to take advantage of this opportunity and work with us to shape the future of football in Gippsland.
