AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou wants to raise his concerns about sport's infiltration by Asian match-fixing gangs with the new federal attorney-general.
It's emerged that Mr Demetriou wrote to Victoria's sports minister in December with a warning about the 'huge and emerging threat' of Asian match-fixing syndicates.
He asked for new laws allowing Victoria Police to share intelligence with the AFL.
Mr Demetriou said on Friday that he had since written to all state and federal sports ministers expressing the AFL's concerns and to 'share information to try and protect the integrity of the sport'.
'We've been proactive on this because we were and continue to be very worried about the vulnerability and the infiltration of organised crime into sport,' he told ABC Radio in Melbourne.
Mr Demetriou said the state governments had been supportive of the AFL's concerns, but the issue had been delayed at the federal level with now former attorney-general Mark Dreyfus.
'We were disappointed that it got held up, given that on the one hand we're trying to protect the integrity of sport, and share information, and on the other hand it was the federal government coming out and saying we've got issues in sport, it's being tainted with organised crime,' he said.
'But hopefully we can take this up with the new government once there's an attorney-general in place.'
Prime minister-elect Tony Abbott has yet to announce who will be attorney-general under his new government.
In February, Australia's peak crime-fighting body alleged there was widespread use of drugs and organised crime involvement in professional sport.
The Australian Crime Commission's 12-month investigation found links with crime groups may have led to match-fixing and phoney manipulation of betting markets.
Several states have already moved to tighten laws to weed out corruption in sport, including increasing jail time for match-fixers.
Victoria Police has also called on the federal government to allow them to share intelligence, with an assessment by the Sports Integrity Intelligence Unit showing the bigger risk facing sport was match-fixing.
