As a parent, do you find it difficult to cover the costs of registration
or participation fees for your children at your local sport or active
recreation club? The Get Started Vouchers program provides assistance
for those who need it most.
Get Started Vouchers assists children and young people who can least
afford, or may otherwise benefit from, joining a sport or active recreation
club. Eligible children and young people are presented with a voucher
that provides up to $150 to help with the costs for membership and
participation fees. The vouchers can be redeemed at a local sport and
active recreation club that is registered for the program.
