Every child should have the opportunity to get outdoors, join a sports club, and stay active, yet for some families, the costs associated with sports can be a major barrier to participation.
The program offers eligible children $200 vouchers that can be applied toward membership fees, registration, sports equipment, or uniforms (new or second-hand).
Football Victoria urges the football community to take advantage of this excellent initiative from Get Active Victoria, which has already distributed over 100,000 vouchers since the program began.
To qualify for a voucher, your child/dependent must meet the following criteria:
- Between the ages of 0 and 18 years
- A resident of Victoria
- Listed on a valid Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card
- Listed on a valid Australian Government Medicare Card
If you have multiple eligible children, you may apply for more than one voucher, and can include all children in a single application.
What costs are covered?
Vouchers valued at up to $200 can be used to cover membership, registration, or participation fees at a registered Get Active Kids sports or active recreation club, association, or program.
You can locate a registered activity provider during the application process or inquire with your local club about their registration status.
If the membership or registration fee includes uniform and equipment costs, a voucher can be applied to cover those items, such as safety gear or mouthguards.
Important dates
Round 8 applications opened on October 9, 2024, and will remain available until the allocation is depleted, as for the voucher expiration date, it will be on the 29 April 2025.
