Why is our Member Suspended?
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.
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.
