The Victorian State Government is making it cheaper and easier to get kids into the sports they love.
Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas today announced applications for Round 10 of Get Active Kids Vouchers are now open, with more than 40,000 vouchers up for grabs.
Eligible families can apply for up to $200 per child to help with memberships, registration fees, uniforms and equipment.
Labor is investing $23 million in the popular program – and it’s working with almost 20 per cent of children who received a voucher joining a local sporting club for the first time.
Since launching in 2020, more than 225,000 vouchers have been snapped up.
Get Active Kids is open to kids aged 18 and under named on a Commonwealth Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and named 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 be redeemed at a registered Get Active Kids Voucher Program activity provider.
