In 2017, women's football clubs from AFL Gippsland, AFL South East, AFL Yarra Ranges, the
Eastern Football League and
Southern Football Netball League joined the South Eastern Women's Football Collective following the disbandment of the
Victorian Women's Football League (VWFL). The competition was made up of former VWFL clubs, as well as teams from local competitions. The 2020 and 2021 seasons were abandoned due to the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In its inaugural season until 2023, SEWF had Division 1 (renamed to Premier Division in 2021), Division 2 and a Development League (renamed to Division 3 in 2018). At the end of the 2022 season, Division 3 was disbanded. ==Clubs==
