  • Reconciliation Action Plan

    Reconciliation Action Plan

    RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN June 2018 - June 2020 OUR VISION AFL Victoria’s vision is one of a united Australia, free of institutional racism that values and recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Our sport acknowledges and respects our strong Aboriginal origins and we are deeply committed to further building our relationships with First Australians throughout Victoria and providing an environment that welcomes and provides opportunities for and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Victorian Kickstart jumper was redesigned from the previous jumper to more appropriately represent Victoria. The Big V is iconic on Victorian state jumpers, therefore the ‘Big V ’on the Kickstart jumper was important. Boomerangs have been included to represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures. Reaching from the AFL Victoria logo is a path going down to the meeting place and then another path up to the Nationals and the Flying Boomerangs. The Possum was identified as a Victorian animal, which is why the possum footprints were chosen to represent the path. At the bottom of the jumpers is a symbol representing a meeting place where all of the boys come together and unite as one and represent the Victorian Kickstart teams. We acknowledge Todd Garner for the jumper design. We also thank all photographers for providing the photos. AFL Victoria also acknowledge the RAP Committee for their time, commitment and contributions to this RAP. 2 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AFL Victoria is proud to launch its inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). We have a vision to make our game the most accessible in Victoria and this is another step forward to achieving this.
