The future of the alignment has been the subject of recent speculation with the viability of the Scorpions called into question, but AFL Victoria confirmed on Sunday that they will continue in the competition in 2013.
AFL Victoria said it had been working with the Scorpions in recent weeks to "better understand some challenges they have faced".
"As requested, the Casey Scorpions have provided AFL Victoria with sufficient information to demonstrate current compliance with the obligations contained in their VFL Licence Agreement which covers the 2012 to 2014 seasons," AFL Victoria general manager Grant Williams said in a media release.
"AFL Victoria will continue to work with the Casey Scorpions and their aligned AFL club partner, Melbourne FC, with their preparations for the 2013 VFL season, as we will with all VFL and AFL clubs involved in the competition."
The Scorpions will start pre-season training at Casey Fields on Monday night under assistant coach Steve O'Brien, and plan to appoint a new senior coach in the next fortnight.
The Demons said on Friday they have been attempting to resolve a number of issues in relation to the alignment in the past few months and has been in meetings with Casey representatives in recent days in preparation for next season.
Melbourne's alignment with the Scorpions has been in place since 2009.
Demons CEO Cameron Schwab said he hoped the matter would be finalised shortly with the club's relationship with the City of Casey remaining strong.
Melbourne will play St Kilda in a pre-season NAB Cup match at Casey Fields in March.
"The Melbourne Football Club continues to favour a 'community club' model in the City of Casey, which we believe achieves both our player development and club growth objectives," Schwab said.
"This arrangement is strongly supported by our coaching staff."
