Each year the AFL Rio Tinto Footy Means Business program provides 50 Indigenous men, aged 18 to 24-year-old, with exposure to elite AFL programs and training, along with networking opportunities in corporate environments over two training camps.
The one-week camp in Perth has seen participants take part in intensive training, as well as ;a range of cultural, educational and community activities.
