AusCycling knows our sport thrives due to the efforts of our many volunteers. Volunteering brings people together; it builds communities and creates a better society for everyone.

A volunteer is anyone who undertakes a role at a club, at events or within the community that is unpaid or is only paid for expenses incurred.

To celebrate the commitment and impact of volunteers, we are launching a National Volunteer Recognition Program. Additionally, thanks to the support of our partners, effective immediately, non-riding memberships will be free of charge* for volunteers.

Our clubs, communities and members rely on the outstanding attributes that our volunteers bring to the sport. These include reliability, excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to learn quickly, decision-making and problem-solving.

If you know of an AusCycling member who is a volunteer and possesses these or other great qualities, someone with a history of commitment or somebody who is a great local fixture, why not put them forward for this special recognition?

Please refer to the information below to nominate a person who encompasses all the attributes of a great volunteer within the AusCycling community. The portal is now open and accepting nominations.
