The Herald Sun understands the base wage for players in the expanded competition will be $13,400 (up from $10,500) while the top players in the four-tier payment system will earn around $25,000 ($20,000 this season).
Players also have the capacity to earn further income from ambassador roles.
It’s believed the one-year deal is being put to the players this weekend and will be signed off on next week.
The players are expected to receive education and training grants as part of the collective bargaining agreement and also share in the AFL Players Association’s injury and hardship fund.
The AFLW pre-season is set to start earlier, on November 14, with players still limited to training 13 hours per week during that period and 10 hours in-season.
The base wage will be parity with the minimum male wage pro rata.
Players, backed by the AFLPA, have fought for better pay and conditions since the competition’s inception in 2018.
