Salary Cap System

Instruction manual that outlines how to access your club’s Salary Cap Portal can be downloaded below. This manual will show you how to start uploading the required documents for each of your players. The instruction manual is easy to follow and also provides you with a support line contact should you run into any issues.

To access your club’s Salary Cap Portal, login through www.outlook.com and then you will need to:

1. Enter your club’s SharePoint Inbox and click on the link within an email that will be sent to you from SharePoint Online or SimpleID.
2. Enter your club’s unique Username and Password when prompted to do so

REMEMBER: Once you have entered your Salary Cap Portal, save the link to your favourites so you don’t have to keep accessing it via your SharePoint Inbox. It’s much easier to click on the direct link.

This is the process you should follow if your club is looking to apply for additional relief from the salary cap imposed on your club for the upcoming season.

The AFL Goldfields Commission will assess Salary Cap Relief applications on an individual basis and assess each application on its merits. League salary caps are currently as follows:

Ballarat FNL: $140,000
Central Highlands FL: $105,000
Riddell DFNL: $110,000
Maryborough Castlemaine DFNL: $75,000

After clubs have received their salary cap for the upcoming season, you may apply for additional relief but only in extenuating circumstances will the AFL Goldfields Commission grant an extension. Club may apply using the application form which can be downloaded via the link below.
