Membership Fees
Athletes will need to purchase a base membership from Athletics Victoria and also pay a club fee. This ensures the athlete is covered with insurance for training and competing throughout the year and grants them access to our facilities.
You then decide which packages or events you wish to enter on top of your membership. In order to be eligible for relays an athlete must ‘purchase’ the Relay package which is free. Please remember that there is also a club fee on all memberships.
Members need to register and pay the full membership fee (club and AV) online at Athletics Victoria in order to be eligible to use the facilities at Dolomore. The AV online portal can be accessed here.
AV Online Portal
Expired members need to use their login details from last year and then renew their membership. New members will need to join and create a new profile and then register as a new member.

Junior Athlete Retention Program & Financial Assistance
- Supporting our athletes as they take the next step
At Mentone Athletic Club, we want to see our young athletes continue to enjoy their athletics journey and achieve their goals well beyond their junior years.
We understand that the transition from junior athletics to senior and open competition can be challenging. As athletes take on new commitments such as work, study and social activities, the financial costs of competing can also become an added challenge.
We want to help make it easier to stay in the sport.
The Mentone Athletic Club Junior Athlete Retention Program has been established to support athletes during this important stage of their lives and encourage them to continue training, competing and proudly representing Mentone.
As part of the program, the club offers a Financial Assistance Package to help eligible athletes (aged 18 – 23 years) with the costs associated with participating in athletics.
If financial considerations are making it difficult for you to continue competing, we encourage you to find out more about the support available. We would much rather help you stay involved than see financial pressures prevent you from pursuing your athletics goals.

Financial Assistance ApplicationMember Duties
Athletics Victoria relies on volunteers to operate. All AV Officials are volunteers. Everyone you see at XCR, AVSL and most Championship events are volunteers. To enable these events to be held, you are required to complete a duty throughout the season as a requirement of your annual membership.
For the coming season Mentone has over 220hrs of volunteer hours to fill. We have volunteer duties to fill at most XCR & AVSL meets during the winter and summer seasons.
In the 2025-26 season we have included in our membership a $30 duty levy. If you complete a duty throughout the season, you can apply to have the $30 levy refunded. If you are unable to complete a duty, your levy will be used to pay other people to do it.
To volunteer for a duty please click on the roster link and add your name to the roster for your preferred date and time. You can share a duty with someone else, and you can often still compete in an event on the day of your duty. Please speak to a Mentone Committee member if you need flexibility with your nominated duty.
If you (or someone you know would like to complete additional duties and be paid for them, please contact us via the link below. Payments for duties will be $60 for a full duty (between 3-5hrs) or $30 for a shared duty (1-3hrs).
Thanks, we appreciate everyone's help with this!
