Finding a Coaching Job
Please do not contact FFA for coaching opportunities. We recommend that you send your Coaching CV to your State Football Federation. Most State Federation websites have sections for clubs to advertise 'coaches wanted'. You may also wish to contact the State Associations directly and express interest.
Insurance
Once you register as a coach with a Club or Association, you will be covered by that organisations' Insurance Policy. You will need to confirm the extent of the insurance coverage and exactly what benefits flow from the policy.
