Get Active Kids Voucher program

There is a new round of the Get Active Kids Voucher program.  

Thousands more Get Active Kids Vouchers are now available for children to help reduce the cost barrier for Macedon kids to participate in sport. 

Since launching in 2020, more than 270,000 vouchers have been snapped up by families to help cover the costs of sporting memberships, registration fees, uniforms and equipment. 

Eligible families can apply for vouchers of up to $200 per child across more than 70 sport and recreation activities, from AFL to water polo.  

More than half of families that received vouchers in Round 10 said their kids would not have been able to participate without these vouchers. 

A special consideration stream is also available to support children in care, temporary or provisional visa holders, migrants and international students.  

Applications for the current round close 13 October 2026, or until the voucher allocation is exhausted.  

For more information and to apply for a voucher visit getactive.vic.gov.au/vouchers    

This information is based on a media release from Mary-Anne Thomas.
