Members can
be suspended for a few reasons, the main ones being Medical and Financial. The
suspension fields are handled by the AusCycling Membership team and cannot be
altered by clubs. Members must contact the Membership team to have suspensions
removed.
A suspension will show up on a member’s contact
profile, as shown above.
You can
export your club’s member list, ensuring you have the suspension fields ticked,
if you want to find a list of suspended members within your club (see below).
When the csv export comes through, you can filter these fields to remove the
blanks and ensure only suspended members are displayed.
Suspensions
will also show up on the member’s digital membership card. It will display on
the ‘back’ of the card with the ‘Suspension End Date’ field (see image below).
Financial
Members are
generally suspended for Financial reasons if they fail to make a payment on
their Payment Plan membership. Members are communicated with multiple times by
the Membership team via SMS and email prior to the suspension being placed on
the account.
Members
suspended for financial reasons may ‘renew’ their membership and show as
Active. If the Suspension fields are still showing, they are still suspended
and are not permitted to race and are not covered by insurance.
“Failed
Payment – Arrears Owing” will display in the Suspension Reason field in these
cases, and the Suspension End Date will be 9/9/9999 if you are checking digital
membership cards.
Medical
When an
incident report form is completed and it notes that an individual has had a
suspected or confirmed concussion, a medical suspension of 1 (One) year will be
applied to the Member's profile.
If you do
have a concussion, you are not able to return to riding until you are cleared
by a Medical Professional.

Return to Racing, Competition, Coaching & Official
Duties
A suspected/confirmed concussed rider must obtain a medical
clearance from a qualified medical doctor before returning to any cycling
activities. It is the rider’s/ parent’s responsibility to ensure that the rider
is medically cleared before returning to cycling activities.
An
AusCycling Incident Report must be sent to AusCycling by coach (training)
or Commissaire (event) using the ‘Incident Report Form’ via email to membership@auscycling.org.au
AusCycling
will record the concussion on the individuals members profile and they
will be medically suspended from all activities until medical clearance is
received.
Upon
receipt of the medical clearance, AusCycling will remove the suspended
members medical list.
The
individual will be permitted to return to all activities.
