Player Representation
The PFA, through collective and industrial representation, has the ambition to ensure football becomes Australia's sporting career of choice. At the heart of the PFA's work are the players, who through representative positions on the Executive Committee, or as club delegates, help to advance and protect the players' interests, conditions and welfare and actively resolve issues on their behalf.
For the 2023/24 period this Annual Report covers, the composition of the Executive Committee changed with Jack Hingert and Andrew Redmayne joining the Executive, following the retirements of Alex Wilkinson and Nikolai Topor-Stanley.
The PFA's membership reached 704 professional players, while the PFA's legal team secured over $500,000 in unpaid wages for PFA members over the course of the 2023/24 financial year.
