Get Active Kids Voucher Program

29 October 2024

Round 8 of the Get Active Kids Voucher Program is now open.

Applications for a voucher or a reimbursement will close when the budget allocation is exhausted. Vouchers expire Tuesday 29 April 2025 so members of the community can use their voucher for a summer sport, winter sport or term-based activity.

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Round 8 opens for applications for a voucher or reimbursement: 10:00am Wednesday 9 October 2024 and will remain open until the allocation is exhausted.
  • Reimbursement expenditure dates: from Monday 1 July 2024 until time of submitting an application.
  • Vouchers expiry date: Tuesday 29 April 2025.
  • Portal open for Activity Providers to redeem vouchers: Wednesday 9 October 2024 to Tuesday 20 May 2025.

Eligible families can apply for $200 vouchers and use them at their registered Get Active Kids Voucher Activity Provider without having to worry about upfront costs. The vouchers can help pay for sporting equipment, uniforms and memberships in a range of activities from club cricket to dance.

To be eligible, kids need to be aged 0 to 18 years, a Victorian resident, named on a valid Commonwealth Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and named on a valid Medicare Card at the time of application.

A special consideration stream is also available to support children residing in Victorian Care Services, temporary or provisional visa holders, undocumented migrants and international students up to 18 years at the time of application. More information on the special consideration stream is available on our website.

Families can also continue to claim a reimbursement for expenses already incurred.
