About Active Kids

 

The NSW Government is helping kids get active with the Active Kids program.

The Active Kids program provides two $100 vouchers for parents, guardians and carers of school-enrolled children to use towards sport and active recreation costs each year.

​

From 1 July 2019, parents, guardians and carers can apply for the second $100 Active Kids voucher.

 

Voucher 1 is valid January to December and Voucher 2 is valid July to December.

 

The vouchers may be used with a registered activity provider for registration, participation and membership costs for sport, fitness and active recreation activities.

More information

 

A voucher can only be used:

• once (if the fees for your chosen activity are less than $100, the remaining balance is forfeited and can't be used)

• during the calendar year it's issued

• for the person named on the voucher

• for registration or membership fees with an approved Active Kids provider.

 

A voucher can't be:

• split between more than one provider or registration (which means if you don't use the full $100 any remaining amount will not be used)

• used for individual items (like jerseys, socks or boots)

• used for the same activity within the same term as another Active Kids voucher

• redeemed for cash.

 

To use the voucher, give the details to your registered activity provider.
