No.  There are several AFL Masters groups in the ACT, but only one of them (Heart, Mind & Soul (35+) group) has a limited competition. You can find more information about these groups on the "About Masters" page. During the season, the teams usually play intraclub matches and games against other regional teams.

You can participate in the carnival as a part of a stand-alone team if you are over 35 years old. However, there are age restrictions in place. If the team from your age bracket is not submitted by ACT and the AFL Masters National body does not make an exception for you to play in the submitted team, you can join other state's teams in that bracket.

What about Insurance?

Each player is responsible for their own insurance and ambulance costs as ACT Masters Football does not provide them.
