Frequently asked questions
Why do I need ISV membership as an athlete?
ISV membership is required so that you have insurance when on the ice. It also allows you to enter competitions and undertake your Ice Skating Australia test levels.
Why should I sign up to a Supporter membership?
Supporter memberships are a great way for parents to help out Ice Skating Victoria. Think of it as a chocolate drive, or a Bunnings sausage sizzle except you can do it from the couch while binge watching the latest Netflix drama. The Platinum Supporter membership is a good option if you have a little bit more cash to give, and also want to have a vote at the AGM.
I'm a coach, why do I need membership?
Many reasons! ISV would love all APSA members to sign up for ISV membership. It's a way you can support, and have a say, in the sport you work in. A coach membership will also allow you to participate in some member only sessions.
What will my membership fee be used for?
Your membership fee is spent on the administrative costs of providing test sessions, events, the Athlete Development program, volunteer training and advancing the resources of Ice Skating Victoria.
Part of the membership fee covers a national registration with Ice Skating Australia as well as registration to Ice Sports Victoria, the Victorian Government recognised State Sporting Association for all Victorian ice sports.
What do ISV voting rights give me?
Anyone who holds a membership with voting rights is able to cast a vote at the Annual General Meeting or any other Special General Meetings that may be held. Members under the age of 16 by the close of ballots have their vote automatically deferred to their guardian.
Does ISV have high operating costs?
No. ISV is proudly a volunteer run organisation and the Board keeps expenses as low as possible. This means more money can go back to athletes in the form of programs and events.
What is ISV’s role?
ISV has many roles as the administrative body for Victorian Figure Skating including:
- Regulation of rules and by-laws
- Promotion of the sport
- Resourcing judges and officials for club and state run events
- Education for officials & judges, and the community in general
A full list of ISV’s role in Victorian Figure Skating is available on the About ISV page.
