Membership

FIT is an affiliated triathlon club that sits under the AusTriathlon umbrella, so you join FIT using the AusTriathlon membership page. Membership of FIT is open to women aged 18 years and over.

To join, you need to choose one of the four levels of membership shown on the AusTriathlon membership page. These vary, depending on the level of insurance provided, ranging from social membership (no insurance), to basic membership (insurance just for training) and two levels of competing membership that cover insurance for competing in triathlons. It’s up to you to decide which level of Triathlon Australia membership you need, but we recommend that you have some level of personal liability insurance when training with FIT (whether through Triathlon Australia or another provider).

Once you have chosen which level of membership you need, click on the ‘Join now’ button at the bottom of the appropriate column to start the registration process.
When you get to the point of selecting a club, make sure you select FEMALES IN TRAINING ACT. This is an important step – otherwise you will join Triathlon Australia but not FIT.

Note that the FIT/AusTriathlon membership year goes from 1 July to 30 June and FIT membership is open to women 18 years and over.

The cost for membership of FIT varies depending on the level of AusTriathlon membership chosen. Total costs for different levels are shown below for 2024/25:

Membership of FIT gives you access to a women’s sporting club that encourages you to achieve your goals in a supportive environment. Our members share a common interest in fitness and achieving success in the disciplines of triathlon – cycling, running and swimming, plus water running.

FIT Membership benefits include :

• access to our weekly coached and uncoached training sessions in running, cycling, swimming and water running
• a wide range range of FIT endorsed activities and event-specific training programs throughout the year
• a regular newsflash email to keep you up-to-date with everything that’s going on
• access to the members-only Facebook group
• social events to celebrate FIT achievements
• discounts from a range of local businesses and supporters.

Potential members are most welcome to join a training session to get to know us before making the decision to join. Visit the running, cycling and swimming/water running pages for session details and make yourself known to the coach when you arrive. We’re friendly and we love showing new people what we do!

FIT holds a range of insurance cover through its affiliation with AusTriathlon and has also taken out separate insurance to ensure that all FIT volunteer coaches and their assistants have professional indemnity cover. This does not cover members for personal injury.

The FIT Committee recommends that members who train or compete, particularly in cycling, take out a FIT membership or separate insurance that provides some cover for personal injury. You can do this by choosing the AusTriathlon Basic or Standard membership when you join FIT, or separately through other organisations such as Cycling Australia, Pedal Power or Bicycle Victoria. It is up to each member to investigate their own insurance needs and take appropriate action.

For further information about FIT’s insurance, please contact the FIT Committee [email protected]  Details of AusTriathlon’s insurance are available at: https://vinsurancegroup.com/triathlon/.

If you have any difficulties with your membership, please contact the FIT Membership Officer or the AusTriathlon membership team ([email protected] or 02 8488 6200).
