AustCycle

AustCycle was established in 2008 as a joint initiative of Cycling Australia, the Amy Gillett Foundation and, until 2010, the Bicycle Federation of Australia. It was the result of over a decade of research that identified a strong need to develop a national education approach to community cycling, which in the past was highly fragmented and provided on an ad hoc basis AustCycle is Australia’s only national cycling accreditation program, which provides high quality education and training to community members to encourage them to get on their bikes and ride. Whether for commuting purposes, for leisure or travel, AustCycle trains people of all ages and backgrounds to incorporate cycling into their lifestyle in order to stay active and healthy. AustCycle is the industry standard for teaching bike handling skills to the community in traffic and traffic-free environments. It is a national system that uses accredited instructors (called Teachers) working for Licensed Providers, delivering training supported by an accredited national curriculum.
