The Victorian Government is helping Victorian kids get outside and be active with applications now open for the second round of the $21 million Get Active Kids Voucher Program.
More than 10,000 vouchers were snapped up in the first round to help cover the costs of membership and registration fees, sport equipment and uniforms.
Round 1 also opened more doors to sport with 27 percent of children who received a voucher joining a local sports club for the first time.
40 percent of overall recipients of vouchers from round 1 also indicated they would not have been able to participate in their chosen sport or activity without the financial support provided by the program.
The Get Active Kids Voucher Program helps eligible families get their children involved in organised sport and active recreation activities by reimbursing the cost of membership and registration fees, uniforms, and equipment. Eligible children may be able to receive up to $200 each.
The program is being delivered across four rounds until 15 April 2022. Applications for vouchers in Round 2 of the program close on Friday 9 July 2021 and applicants can claim eligible expenses incurred between 1 January 2021 and 9 July 2021.
