There are numerous competitive and non competitive licences, plus introductory licences for those new to cycling, which cover all ages, interests and abilities. All licences are purchased through a club.

A Full Membership enables participation in cycling competition conducted under the auspices of Cycling Australia or any of its affiliated State Federations and affiliated clubs and provides eligibility to compete in Australian Championships, represent Australia or apply for an International Licence.

Club licences are restricted to participation in club-only events conducted by the member’s respective club for only members of that club.
