MySquashAUS Frequently Asked Questions
**For Clubs**
MySquashAUS is the new membership platform for Squash Australia that is powered by revolutioniseSPORT, an online cloud-based membership management platform built for grassroots administrators.
- For an introduction to the platform, please refer to this video.
If you have any questions regarding the transition to the new membership model and platform, refer to our latest Media release MySquashAUS - Your questions answered
If you are the primary administrator and yet to receive access to your Squash club portal, please apply for administrator access here. You will receive an email over the next 1-3 business days containing login information.
If you know of other administrators that need to have access to your club portal, please ensure you register/renew your member profile via your clubs registration page. Once you are a member, original administrators of your account will be able to give you access by going to account > admins > add admin.
Please reach out to support@squashaus.com.au if you have any questions.
To start accepting member registrations, the following needs to be set up in your MySquashAus club account:
- Account administrators added
- Pin Payments Enabled
- Membership fees created
Please complete Club onboarding instructions questionnaire found here for a step-by-step guide that details how to set these functions up. Note that you will need to log in with your MySquashAus personal account
Pin Payments is the online payment gateway that is integrated with MySquashAus to facilitate online payments. All member registrations need to be paid via this integration using credit/debit card.
Your club will need to create their own Pin Payments account, this is done via finance > settings > Enable Pin Payments.For instructions on how to complete this, please refer to the Club onboarding instructions questionnaire linked here.
Additional instructions can be found in the below document.
Pin Payments
Pin Payments are an online payment company similar to Stripe or PayPal.
To take online payments for registration, a Pin Payments account is required to allow the automatic splitting of affiliation fees to the State and National organisations. You will also have the option of having funds deposited into your bank account.
Note that under Commonwealth legislation all Financial Institutions are required to identify and know their customers. The customer identification procedures are known as Know Your Customer" (KYC) procedures. You can find further information about this requirement at the Austrac website.
If you have a personal bank account attached to your clubs Pin Payments request, you can select the following:
- Sole Trader: a personal bank account is acceptable. Account owner name, BSB and account number must be visible.
- “Other” Unincorporated Entity: the bank statement must be under the name of the President, Treasurer or Secretary. BSB and account number must be visible.
In your meeting minutes section, you can additionally provide information (i.e. like a letterhead) that states that you are the e.g. Secretary and the club provides allowance for a personal bank account to be used which is in the name of the Secretary.
If either option doesn't work and you receive a 'fail', please contact support@squashaus.com.au and we will contact our providers to work out a solution.
For an Not Incorporated club or a Sole Trader you should supply:
- Bank Statement
Note: the bank statement can be redacted of all details except it must show the account number and the account name, which must match with either the Club name or the Sole Traders name. - Constitution (club) or Personal ID (Sole Trader)
- Meeting Minutes or a document on letterhead stating the admin name and that the admin is a representative of the club but using a personal account.
- Meeting Minutes must include the list of Club office bearers eg President, Secretary, etc.
- The document should suffice in replacement of meeting minutes for a Sole Trader
If you do not have your own Letterhead you can generate one from your revolutioniseSPORT account. Go to account -> Stationary then under the Generate Letterhead tile you can add in your required information.
Deposits from Pin Payments take 3-5 business days to transfer due to the range of fraud and security checks that Pin Payments take each transaction through. However, your first transfer will take a little longer and will be around 7 business days due to additional checks.
You can track the funds that are pending transfer to your bank account by running an Income Transaction Summary (in Finance > reporting) using the below filters:
- Payment date - tick this field to include the date the invoices were paid
- Date transferred to bank - tick this and invoices will show as 'pending' if the funds haven't yet been transferred
- Payment method - set this filter to 'Pin Payments' to confirm which funds were paid via Pin Payments
After funds have been transferred, a Pin Payments Summary (also in Finance > reporting) will reflect when transfers were made into your bank account and which invoices encompassed each transfer.
Under Commonwealth legislation all Financial Institutions are required to identify and know their customers. The customer identification procedures are known as Know Your Customer" (KYC) procedures. You can find further information about this requirement at the Austrac website.
Pin Payments have selected the use of an ABN as part of their KYC procedures, as such it is required to have an ABN to get a Pin Payments account.
Squash Australia recommend that all entities have their own ABN. An ABN is easy to apply for, and can be used for an unincorporated association or entity consisting of a group of individuals with a common interest (for example, a sporting club or social club) without a legally recognised structure or for a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation. You can find out more details from the Australian Business Register.
Some benefits of having an ABN are
- Avoiding mistaken identity
- Your business will be easily identifiable
- You’re able to get an Australian domain name
To apply for an ABN, an individual will require
- Your individual TFN
- The TFNs of any associates - for example partners, directors, trustees
- Entity Legal Name - your club name
- Associate details - Name, Date of Birth, Position, either TFN or residential address
- Club contact details including an address, postal address, email address and phone number.
- Club activity - for example sporting club
- Club locations - for example the centre that you play out of
While Squash Australia recommend that you get your own ABN for your club, if your social club is part of another club arrangement we would recommend asking your parent club if you could use their ABN detaisl. If you are a stand-alone club please contact your STM for further advise.
Competitions
Each child will need to be entered into an event via their own profile. This ensures that the correct profile is added to the Event.
A family-linking process exists in the platform which can make it easier for parents to manage their children's data. Please speak with your Club administrator to have this set up.
Squash Australia are working with revolutioniseSPORT to implement a new Competittion module which includes Tournaments, Social Competitions and Inter-Club Competitions. Once this has been enabled in the system you will be able to create your tournament.
This is up to the discretion of the parent body, but an example will be if Digital members are permitted to register into a competitive ticket type.
A member can withdraw themselves and add this to the Notes of the withdrawal request. You can also add the inury to revSPORT's Injury reports feature.
This is handled via the Teams feature and a doubles-entry process into events is under development. The other main differences revolve around setting up the competition as a round-robin and ensuring that players are drawn from teams, for example.
Specific training on Pennants has been run early this year and documentation can also be found here.
Website
There are two ways that you can do this:
- Change your website completely over to the new revSPORT platform.
The website is free for use with your platform and can be customised to your own branding. You can link your current Domain i.e. squashclub.com.au to your revSPORT website by going to account > upgrades > Domain/SSL. There is a yearly fee associated with revSPORT hosting and linking your domain/SSL. - Utilise certain pages from within revSPORT such as the member registration page, event/tournament page and use those links and insert them as a hyperlink on your existing website.
Note: Whilst embedding functionality does exist through revSPORT, many search engines have recently blocked use of third party embed forms, meaning that on occassion submitting details via that embed form may not work.
If your website is currently on SportyHQ, you may want to consider changing over to revSPORT.

Other Questions
While subscriptions to the ‘On Court’ newsletters are free, we are changing the database from which we are sourcing the subscribers from.
To ensure that you continue to receive the newsletters, we have introduced a Digital membership option which is free. You will need to sign up for this via your club (or State if you don’t have a particular club that you are a member of) when these membership categories go live from 3 July.
Note: this process has been deprecated as registration is now through your club.
Currently the registration is only to activate your profile and assign it to a State Association.
After 3 July you will be able to go to your Club Registration page and complete a registration or renewal and pay your membership fee.
While the two systems are separate they are linked through the Squash Australia ID. The link between the two systems is being finalised and once this is complete the two IDs will match.
