Research & Data Collection

The PFWADA believes in policy grounded in evidence. We conduct and support research across key areas: player welfare, employment standards, brain health, and post-career outcomes.

By collecting and analysing data, PFWADA can better advocate for change in government, federation, and CAF-level discussions.

Our long-term vision is to build the game's most comprehensive database on player welfare — a foundation for smarter policies, safer leagues, and sustainable careers.
