Local footy clubs across Australia are powered by incredible women making an impact on and off the field.

That's why we've created HI VIS.

A season-long celebration of local women's football clubs doing great things in their communities.

Throughout the AFLW season, we'll be putting HI VIS on clubs around the country, sharing their stories with AFL fans nationwide and recognising the people helping grow the game.

The clubs selected will be celebrated through AFLW boundary signage, stadium big screens and game-day recognition, with club members invited to attend the match. The Bunnings team will also be behind the BBQ on game day, helping raise funds for local women's football programs.

Come along, grab a snag and see local footy celebrated on the AFLW stage.
