Why can’t I find my State Sporting Association (SSA) on the list?

  • AFL Auskick centres
  • Athletics Victoria

  • Cricket Victoria
  • Girl Guides Victoria
  • Golf Australia
  • Motorcycling Victoria

What if my club or organisation is not incorporated?

An application can be submitted by an auspice organisation (e.g. a state association or league).

The auspice organisation must:

  • Meet all eligibility and conditions of registration on behalf of the registered provider undertaking the services
  • Submit the application and agree to the terms and conditions.

Contact the team at getactivekids@sport.vic.gov.au to discuss auspice arrangements.

Can we increase our fees to maximise our reimbursement?

The Program is designed to reduce the cost barriers for children to participate in sport and active recreation. It is a responsibility of registration that no differential pricing in membership exists between children approved for Get Active Kids Vouchers and other participants.

Can I include uniform or equipment costs?

Yes. You can include uniform or equipment costs (such as mouthguards or other safety equipment) as long as:

  • It is a necessary item in order for the participant to take part in the activity
  • The cost of the item/s is included in the same transaction as the registration.
What expenses can be claimed on a voucher?

Vouchers can only be used to cover the cost of membership and registration.

Uniform and equipment items that are incorporated within the membership and registration fees can be claimed (for example, safety equipment, mouthguards).

How do I let my members know about the program?

We have a range of promotional material for you to share with your members.
