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).
Each voucher is up to $200 for each child. When a voucher is presented to a registered activity provider, the provider will reduce the membership or registration fee by up to $200 at the time of registration.
If the full membership fee is less than $200, the voucher can only be used for the lower amount. For example, if a membership costs $80, the voucher will cover the whole amount. The remaining value of the voucher cannot be used.
If the membership fee is more than $200, the participant will need to pay the rest. For example, if the full membership costs $250, the voucher will cover $200, and the participant will pay $50.

You can apply from 21 March 2022 to 31 May 2022.
