The members of the JVI include Registered Clubs and Registered Affiliate Individuals. Registered Clubs (subject to a minimum membership) elect, each year, members of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is responsible for some aspect of operations both administrative and technical, for which a sub-committee is appointed to carry out the tasks. Judo Victoria Inc encourages all coaches to obtain a Judo Australia CAF licence, and all prospective students are encouraged to train with CAF licensed coaches.
