Collison's past experience includes multiple club best and fairests, two premierships as well as playing in both the VFL and NEAFL.
Warragul Industrials described him as an "excellent communicator that gets the best out of his teammates."
According to the club, Collison has already been involved in planning for the 2024 pre-season as well as list management decisions. He will take the role of a playing coach.
Collison's appointment comes after the departure of senior coach Harmit Singh, who led the team to consecutive finals appearances in his last two years at the helm.
