complete. It is essential that you correctly complete the creation of a new account to
ensure Gymnastics Australia can track who has completed the program by allocating
gymnastics as your chosen sport. On completion please forward a copy of the
email you receive to membership@gymnastics.org.au

Medical
Medical Personnel

During competition and training, a doctor and/or physiotherapist will be in
attendance.

For further Medical assistance outside training and competition times, the GA
medical team of Dr Don McIntosh and Dr Kathy Yu will facilitate appointments at an
appropriate medical centre.

Normal fees apply when attending a Medical Centre. Please ensure that each
person has his or her Medicare information. Details of the local hospital are:

                               St Vincent’s Hospital
                                59 Victoria Parade
                                 Fitzroy VIC 3065
                                Ph.: (03) 9288 2211

              24 Hour Emergency Department: Ph.: (03) 9288 2211

All persons associated with the competition must be aware of their Medicare Number
and Club Managers/chaperones are to have a list of the relevant numbers when
seeking any medical attention.

Medical Support for State Teams

The championships will be an opportunity for gymnasts to showcase their best
performances. Health care is an important part of their preparation and maintenance.
This includes hydration, nutrition, sleep, as well as prevention and management of
their injuries. Gymnasts will benefit from having a dedicated medical professional as
a member of the traveling team to manage muscle aches and pains, preventative
taping, and stretching and massage.

Many States and gymsports already know how good it is to have a physiotherapist or
massage therapist who is part of the team and focused on the team members. Every
year the teams who do not bring their own medical staff are the ones with a high rate
of injury during competition. We would like to encourage all States to arrange
medical coverage for their representative gymnasts so that they can perform at their
highest level.
Medical Clearance

Each State Association must provide written advice to the Competition Manager that
all athletes under their control have been declared fit prior to commencing the
competition training. This must be submitted at the Orientation Meeting. Regulations
regarding athletes withdrawn due to injury are available in “point 6” of the “National
Event Entry Policy”.

Medicare Numbers

States are required to supply Medicare numbers for all competitors and officials
attending the event. These numbers are to be entered in iMIS at the time of
Definitive Entries. These numbers will be held by the medical personnel so that
treatment during the competition can be bulk billed. This has been organised to help
keep medical costs down and to support our medical personnel working at the event.

Medal Engraving
Medal engraving will be available during the following times;

      Thursday 21 May from 8.30-10.00pm
      Sunday 24 May from 11.30-1.00pm
      Friday 29 May from 8.30-10.00pm
      Saturday 30 May from 2.00-4.00pm

Please not these times are subject to change. Any changes will be advertised in
future bulletins or via daily newsletters during the Championships.

Each medal will cost $10 to have engraved. There will be a choice of 3 fonts for you
to choose from.
Merchandise
Special event merchandise memorabilia will be available for purchase at the
Championships in the main foyer. Don’t miss out; there will be no pre-ordering
available so remember to visit the Official merchandise stand. Below is some of the
