Do you know the membership application process?

• Each year you must apply to become a WAISA member.

• Apply and Pay Online to be a WAISA member. You will receive acknowledgement of your application and a receipt for your payment.

• Your membership application is then collated with other applications and presented at the next WAISA Council meeting at which time WAISA Council will consider your application (refer WAISA Constitution, Section 5) and approve or decline your application. If your membership is declined, you will be notified. (Note only applications received prior to the cut off date before the meeting will be included for consideration).

• To be eligible to participate in any test or competition (including interstate and international), your membership must have been approved by WAISA Council prior to your application for tests or registration for competition being received.

• Note if your membership has not been approved by WAISA Council and you apply for a test or competition entry, you will not be eligible, this will result in your registration being cancelled and there will be no refunds of the test or competition fees.

• WAISA does not provide refunds for approved memberships under any circumstance.

• National Registration Insurance Levy

  If you are a financial member of The Western Australian Ice Skating Association Inc., then the Ice Skating Australia levy is part of your annual membership fee. The State associations forward this National Registration Levy ($25) to ISA on your behalf. More information and insurance certificates can be found at https://www.isa.org.au/isa-insurances

Membership Approval Closing Dates

WAISA holds test sessions on most months of the year. There are some months when the test session is not held due to schedule conflicts with competitions or availability of judges and availability of ice time. 

Test applications must be made online, entry is considered successful upon receipt of payment. Entry is based on a first come, first served basis and will close automatically once maximum capacity has been reached.  Maximum Capacity is calculated by the available ice time and estimation of tests expected.  
Test sessions fill quickly, WAISA does not offer a wait list, if you were unsuccessful on your registration you will need to wait and try again when the next test session opens.
If a test registration closes prior to the advertised cutoff date and the schedule permits time for additional spots WAISA will reopen the registration process after advising our members 24hours prior.

Applicants must be an approved full financial member of WAISA at the time of application to enter a WAISA Test. Members from other Australian state associations will be considered if their home association endorses the application and if there is room in the session. WAISA members have first priority. 

Any applications received who are not members of WAISA and ISA will be returned, and the application will be deemed unsuccessful.

There is a 28 day wait requirement between failing a test and re skating the same test Pattern or Technical program.
