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.

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 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.
