The state government is helping children get active and play the sports they love this summer with the next round of Get Active Kids vouchers now available to eligible families.
The popular program ensures cost is not a barrier for kids to play sports, with more than 65,000 vouchers expected to be distributed over the next two years.
More than half of families say their kids would not have been able to participate in sport without the voucher, and almost 20 per cent of children have used the voucher to join a local sporting club for the first time.
From soccer to dancing, there are more than 70 sports and more than 2300 activity providers included in the program across the state.
Families can apply for the vouchers online before redeeming them at an activity provider like a local sporting club or as a reimbursement of up to $200 per child.
Children must be 18 years old and under who are named on a Commonwealth health care or pensioner concession card, and named on a Medicare card.
Special consideration is also available to support children in care, temporary or provisional visa holders, migrants, and international students.
