The Victorian Government is making it cheaper and easier for kids to get involved in the sports they love.
Ministers Ros Spence and Harriet Shing have announced that applications for Round 10 of the Get Active Kids Vouchers are now open, with more
than 40,000 vouchers
available.
Eligible families can apply for up to $200 per child to help cover memberships, registration fees, uniforms, and equipment. Since launching in 2020, more than 225,000 vouchers have already been claimed.
Get Active Kids is open to children aged 18 and under who are named on a Commonwealth Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and listed on a Medicare Card. A special consideration stream is also available to support children in care, temporary or provisional visa holders, migrants, and international students.
Vouchers can only be redeemed with registered Get Active Kids Voucher Program activity providers. Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence said the program helps ensure kids aren’t left on the sidelines. “We’re providing real support for families to make sure kids aren’t sitting on the sidelines because of cost,” she said.
