Ice skates in Australia: prices by type and level

Updated 5 November 2026

Ice skates in Australia cost from about A$45 for a basic recreational pair to around A$1,800 for a top senior hockey skate. Most recreational and figure skates sit between A$60 and A$200. For the pair that suits your size and level, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and warranty

Under the Australian Consumer Law, the consumer guarantees apply to skates whatever the seller says, so a faulty pair can be repaired, replaced, refunded or cancelled. Retailers also set their own warranty: one seller gives 30 days, another gives three months, and a third offers a one-time repair within 90 days for boot damage. A short seller warranty does not remove your consumer guarantees, so read the terms before you buy. Some rinks' conditions of entry say skates may only be worn on the ice and at ground level, so check with the rink if you plan to walk in them.

Season and sizing

Ice rinks are indoors, so the weather matters less than the time of year and the rink's own programme. Summer runs from December to February, which is when many people are not skating as often, so plan a purchase around your training schedule. Sizing is the tricky part: sellers list US sizes such as US 7, so ask for the UK or mondo size and your foot length in centimetres before you order.

Delivery and what to put in your request

Prices are per pair and shown in Australian dollars. Ask whether a price includes postage to your city, since delivery can go to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide. Include the skate type (recreational, figure or hockey), your size, the level you skate at, the age of the skater, whether you want new or used, and your budget.

Free for buyers. Describe the skater, the skate type and the budget in your own words. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, and shows what it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
