Obtaining your Club’s CPS Permit List from VicRoads

If your club wishes to get a list of the CPS permits that are currently issued under your club, please do the following:

• Prepare a letter (on club letterhead) asking for the information.

• Include a return address, e-mail address and contact phone number in the letter.

• Have the letter signed by a person on VicRoads’ list as an authorised signatory. (Typically club secretary or club permit officer).

• Send a scan of the letter (JPG or PDF) to: registration.services@roads.vic.gov.au with the subject “Request for Club Permit List for [Insert Club Name]”. Include a sentence in the e-mail such as “Dear Sir, please find a request from the [Insert Club Name] for a list of CPS vehicles issued from our club.” And include return postal address, e-mail address and phone number on the e-mail

If your car club cannot arrange for an e-mail to be sent, send your letter to the AOMC and we will e-mail it on your behalf.

MembershipPLUS FAQs

My Club is organising an event as part of a larger community event or in collaboration with another car club. Does it need to be sanctioned?

a. Public Liability is the main consideration in this situation and liability for incidents occurring will ultimately depend on the circumstances. Your club should therefore manage risks they are responsible for, just like any other event. The additional insurance benefits of MembershipPLUS such as Voluntary Worker Insurance and Associations Liability Insurance don’t change so the same controls used for all club activities (eg records of all volunteers working under the direction of your club) continue to apply.

b. If your club is organising an event as a component of a larger event, such as holding a display day or a swap meet at local community event organised by someone else, then you should prepare a risk management plan to manage just the risks you are responsible for. If you are not organising the site, the vendors or traffic management and not managing or charging public entry, then they don’t need to be part of your planning. In such cases it might be assumed that Public Liability insurance is being provided by the other organisers for most risks and it would therefore be prudent to obtain a copy of their Certificate of Currency as part of your own risk management planning. If they do not have adequate insurance, then you need to reconsider your risk of participation.

c. If your club is organising an event in collaboration with another car club, then the clubs should identify their agreed responsibilities (shared or otherwise) and prepare a risk management plan accordingly. Whether or not the other club is a MembershipPLUS affiliate does not change your responsibilities for risk management so you should manage the planning to suit the risks you are responsible for.

d. In the above examples the criteria for needing Event Sanctioning does not change. If you are not organising the other event then just consider the event activities you are responsible for, however if there is any doubt then submit a Sanction Request with details of the other event and your known responsibilities.
