Tanya Hosch

AFL executive Tanya Hosch understands first-hand the importance of advocating for your health and wellbeing amongst the daily juggle of life. 

As an Indigenous woman, Hosch said she was concerned that other Indigenous people lacked access to the healthcare services they needed. 

Celebrating a journey –past, present and emerging– builds the story of this year’s AFLW Indigenous Round.

This week is the AFLW’s Indigenous Round, dedicated to acknowledging the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Tanya Hosch is the first Indigenous person, and second woman to ever be appointed the AFL’s executive.

It’s not long now until the 2021 Australian of the Year is announced, so here are the women who have been nominated for the national award.
