The state government has announced a new round of $200 vouchers aimed at helping eligible families to cover sporting costs for children.
Announced by the state on Monday 13 October, the Get Active Kids vouchers are aimed at supporting families to cover the costs of sporting memberships, registration fees, uniforms and equipment.
There are more than 70 sports and more than 2,300 activity providers included in the program across Victoria.
Families can apply for the vouchers online before redeeming them at an activity provider like a local sporting club or a reimbursement of up to $200 per child.
Children must be 18 years and under who are named on a Commonwealth Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and named on a Medicare Card.
A special consideration is also available to support children in care, temporary or provisional visa holders, migrants and international students.
Premier Jacinta Allan said costs should not be a barrier to “joining a footy or basketball team or taking up swimming lessons”.
A second 2025–26 round of the program will open early next year.
