YJFL announces new partnership with OrthoSport Victoria Institute (OSVi)

The Yarra Junior Football League (YJFL) and OrthoSport Victoria Institute (OSVi) are proud to

announce a new partnership for the 2025 season and beyond.

Under this agreement, OSVi becomes the Preferred Provider of Sports Injury Emergency Care

and a Preferred Partner in Concussion Assessment, Treatment, and Management for all YJFL

players and families.

This partnership ensures YJFL athletes have access to OSVi’s state-of-the-art Sports Injury

Emergency Clinic, based in Richmond. Open Friday evenings 6:30pm-10:00pm, Saturdays

12:00pm-7:00pm & Sunday 12:00pm-7:00pm, the clinic operates just like a private emergency

department, but without the ED wait times.

The average wait times are under 10 minutes, and no referral is required. Players can be seen

immediately by sports-specific doctors, who will assess your injury and decide on the most

suitable treatment plan, you will receive bulk billed imaging, and if needed, be fast-tracked to

orthopaedic surgeons and rehabilitation services, all under one roof. With special pricing for

YJFL athletes, and a portion of the fee claimable on club insurance.

Additionally, OSVi will support YJFL Athletes with:

- Same-day injury assessment and planning

- Concussion support

- Access to leading strength & conditioning coaches, biomechanical and performance

testing, state of the art gym, sports medicine, and rehab teams.

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with the YJFL,” said Lawrence Furlan, CEO of OSVi. “Our

goal is to redefine how junior athletes access and experience injury care. Through this

partnership, we’ll provide YJFL players with immediate, expert support when they need it most,

and build a new standard of injury and concussion management across junior football.”

Dominic Milesi, CEO of the YJFL, also shared his enthusiasm:

“Player welfare is our highest priority, and this partnership with OSVi takes our commitment to

a new level. Their world-class clinic and team of experts give our athletes, parents, and clubs

confidence that help is available fast, and that care goes beyond the initial injury to full

recovery. We’re thrilled to be working with OSVi.”

This partnership is about raising the bar in community sport, giving junior footballers the

professional care and recovery pathways they deserve, and helping them get back on the field

safely and sooner.
