Hello,

We’re excited to announce that Round 8 of the Get Active Kids Voucher Program is now open!

In this round, applications for a voucher or a reimbursement will close when the budget allocation is exhausted. Vouchers expire Tuesday 29 April 2025 so your members 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 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 a registered Get Active Kids Voucher Activity Provider without having to worry about upfront costs. Children aged 0 to 18 years and named on a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and Medicare Card are eligible. All they need to do is visit getactive.vic.gov.au/vouchers/ and follow the prompts.

Special consideration is available if a child/dependent is residing in Victorian Care Services, or the child/family is a temporary or provisional visa holder, undocumented migrant or international student. More information is available on our website.

As a Get Active Kids Voucher Program Activity Provider, you could soon be receiving vouchers from your members.

If you receive a voucher:

check that you are the Activity Provider named on the voucher
reduce the member’s fees by up to $200 for membership and registration (uniform and equipment that are incorporated within the fees can also be claimed)
log in to your account and follow the instructions at https://service.vic.gov.au/services/manage-get-active-kids-provider/home
we will deposit the amount into your nominated bank account.
If a family has already paid for their child’s activity, they can apply for a reimbursement at https://www.getactive.vic.gov.au/vouchers/apply-for-vouchers

Promote the Get Active Kids Voucher Program to families

Around 80% of children in Victoria do not meet the recommended amount of physical activity as specified by the National Physical Activity Guidelines, and families from disadvantaged backgrounds are less able to spend their income on sport and recreation.

The Get Active Kids Voucher Program encourages children to participate in physical activity and maximises support for communities who face additional barriers to getting active.

We have a range of promos for you to share on your socials with your community at getactive.vic.gov.au/vouchers/promo-pack/

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Program.

Kind regards,

Get Active Kids Voucher Program Team
