The objective and purpose of the Executive Panel is to provide guidance and advice to the IFA Board on any matters related to IFA’s achievement of its objects. In practice, the Executive Panel is the driving force behind the IFA and acts to represent the members and support the wider independent football community.

Each member of the initial Executive Panel has been integral in conceptualising the purpose of IFA. Each sees the need to work with, not against the established football community to build the next generation of excellence across Australian footballers. They see, however, that can only happen by providing a safe, credible and diverse environment for young players and their parents.
