As a not-for-profit sporting organisation, AFFF exists to govern, develop and promote Functional Fitness across the country. We provide leadership, integrity and opportunity for athletes, coaches, judges, affiliates and event organisers while building a sustainable future for the sport.

As Australia's member federation of the International Functional Fitness Federation (iF3), we proudly select and support Australian teams to compete at Oceania, Continental and World Championships, while contributing to the continued international recognition of Functional Fitness as a global sport.

To establish Functional Fitness as a recognised and respected sport in Australia, creating opportunities for every Australian to participate, compete and excel from grassroots through to the international stage.
