Jason Mifsud enters the public office, leaving his role in the AFL as an indigenous official to accept a role within the Victorian state government.

"Jason Mifsud has made an incredible contribution to our game, to indigenous players, and to the community through his work at the AFL, and the Commission and clubs wish him well in his new role," AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said.

"I would like to personally acknowledge Jason’s leadership and the very positive impact he has had on our approach to indigenous and multicultural affairs."
