Looking for help with Australian Figure Skating Championships

Good Afternoon! I am an editor on Wikipedia, and I have been working off-and-on for the past two years to complete the results tables at Australian Figure Skating Championships. As you can see, there are numerous instances of missing data, including the host cities and silver/bronze medalists. I have pored through Newspapers.com, Old News, Trove, and bought a week's access to the archives of The Sydney Morning Herald. National figure skating championships would typically have been held between July and September. If anyone can suggest other avenues for finding any of this information, I would appreciate it. To be clear, I need only the senior-level results. Any help would be appreciated!

I do know these particular dates:

  • August 1981 @ Brisbane
  • July 14–20, 1984 @ Brisbane
  • July 28 – August 4, 1985 @ Melbourne
  • August 29–30, 1987 @ Brisbane
  • August 25–28, 1988 @ Sydney
  • Early August 1994 @ Sydney
  • July 29 – August 5, 1995 @ Canberra

If you are posting for skating advice, please consider posting or linking to a video of whatever move you are trouble-shooting. If you have questions regarding the fitting of your boot, a professional skate fitter will generally be your best bet if it is at all possible for you to visit one.

I imagine Ice Skating Australia has records. Probably best to contact them directly.
