Is my child eligible for a voucher?

To be eligible for a voucher your child/dependant must be:

  • aged 0 to 18 years, and
  • a resident in Victoria, and
  • named on a valid Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and
  • named on a valid Australian Government Medicare Card.

You can apply for more than one voucher if you have more than one eligible child. You can apply for multiple children on the one application.

How do I apply for a voucher?

When the program is open, apply at https://service.vic.gov.au/find-services/outdoor-and-recreation/get-active-kids to receive your voucher to use with an approved activity provider. Present the voucher code to your activity provider and get up to $200 off the registration and membership fee (as well as any included uniforms and/or equipment).

What is special consideration?

Special consideration may apply if your child doesn’t meet the eligibility criteria but is aged 0 to 18 years, a resident in Victoria and meets one of the following criteria:

  • child is currently residing in Victorian Care Services; or
  • the child/family is a temporary or provisional visa holder, undocumented migrant or international student.

To be considered for special consideration email getactivekids@sport.vic.gov.au

What costs are covered?

Vouchers up to $200 can be used to pay for membership, registration, or participation fees at a registered Get Active Kids sport or active recreation club, association or program.

You can find a registered activity provider when you apply or ask your local club if they have registered.

If uniform and equipment are part of the membership or registration fee, a voucher can be used to pay for that uniform or equipment (for example, safety equipment, mouthguards).

How much is the voucher worth?

Each voucher is up to $200 for an eligible child. When a voucher is presented to a registered activity provider, the provider will reduce the membership or registration fee (and any related uniform or equipment costs included with registration) by up to $200 at the time of registration.

If the total amount is less than $200, the voucher can only be used for that amount. For example, if the total amount is $80 the voucher will cover the whole amount. The remaining value of the voucher cannot be used with another activity provider.

If the total amount is more than $200, the participant will need to pay the rest. For example, if the total amount is $250, the voucher will cover $200 and the participant will pay $50.

How do I use my voucher?

Present your voucher to the activity provider that you nominated when you applied for the voucher. Each voucher has a code that is linked to the nominated provider so it cannot be used anywhere else.

The voucher code represents payment (or part payment) of registration/membership fees. The voucher code must be presented to the activity provider when registering.

The Victorian Government cannot provide the voucher codes directly to an activity provider. It must be presented by the voucher holder.
