Official Business Risk Insurance Broker and Official Risk Partner of the AFLW and AFL.

Supporting AFL on and off the field

Every day at Marsh, we work with clients and their communities so they can confidently pursue their goals and dreams. As the Official Business Risk Insurance Broker and Official Risk Partner of the AFLW and AFL we have been providing the AFL with risk management advice and insurance solutions to help ensure that AFL players and their communities are protected on and off the field.

Proudly backing the next generation of AFL stars

We have been supporting the AFL for more than 20 years, and in 2024, we extended that support to include the AFL’s future stars, both girls and boys – who have been selected to participate in the Marsh AFL National Academy and Talent Pathways programs.

The Academy brings together the best young AFLW and AFL players in the country to access elite training and career development opportunities, both on and off the field.

Making a difference to the future of footy

Through Marsh’s sponsorship, the AFL is able to invest in opportunities to nurture talented young players so they have every opportunity to thrive in their future career in the AFLW and AFL. Click on the video to hear the story.

What we do at Marsh

We work with Australian businesses of all sizes to help them manage risk and create safe environments for their clients, colleagues and communities to thrive. We specialise in a range of industries including our country’s most loved sports.

From advocating for insurance rebates and refunds on behalf of AFL clubs forced to cancel their season, to requesting insurance coverages that adapted as the pandemic evolved, we have the privilege of protecting the games you love from grassroots through to the elite.

We’re also part of the Marsh McLennan group of companies. Together with Mercer, Guy Carpenter and Oliver Wyman, we form the world’s leading professional services firm offering insurance broking, risk advisory and people solutions. With an annual revenue of more than $20 billion, and 85,000 colleagues operating across 130 countries, we combine strengths to help businesses and communities build the confidence to thrive through the power of perspective.

The Discretionary Trust Arrangement is not an insurance product, because one element of the Arrangement involves the Trustee’s absolute discretion whether or not to pay a Claim and how much to pay. The Discretionary Trust Arrangement is a Managed Investment Scheme made up of two parts: The Scheme Cover and The Insurance Cover.

The Discretionary Trust Arrangement was established to help manage the Members’ risk of personal injury. For more information please read the Australian Football National Risk Protection Program Discretionary Trust Arrangement Product Disclosure Statement.

The Asset Protect and Personal Injury covers are each provided through a Discretionary Trust Arrangement. Each Discretionary Trust Arrangement is issued by the Trustee, JLT Group Services Pty Ltd (ABN 26 004 485 214, AFSL 417964) (“JGS”). Any advice or dealing in relation to the Discretionary Trust Arrangement is provided by JLT Risk Solutions Pty Ltd (ABN 69 009 098 864, AFSL 226 827) (“JLT”). The cover provided by the Discretionary Trust Arrangements is subject to the Trustee’s discretion and/or the relevant policy terms, conditions and exclusions.

Marsh Advantage Insurance Pty Ltd (ABN 31 081 358 303, AFSL 238369) (“Marsh”) arranges and provides any advice in relation to general insurance products (i.e. not the Discretionary Trust Arrangement) and is not the insurer.
