We’re approaching the end of the calendar year fast and if you still need to register your squids using their 2021 Active Kids Voucher you’ll need to get in quick…
See below for information from the NSW Government about eligibility and how to redeem your voucher
The NSW Government is helping kids get active with the Active Kids program.
The Active Kids program provides two $100 vouchers for parents, guardians and carers of school-enrolled children to use towards sport and active recreation costs each year.
Voucher 1 is valid January to December 2021 and Voucher 2 is valid July to December 2021.
To use the voucher, find a registered activity provider and present your voucher when you sign up.

You can apply for a voucher for each eligible student.
You can use the voucher for registration, participation or membership costs with an approved Active Kids provider.
What you need
- a MyServiceNSW Account
- one proof of identity document for the parent, carer or guardian

More information
A voucher can only be used:
- once (if the fees for your chosen activity are less than $100, the remaining balance is forfeited and can’t be used)
- during the calendar year it’s issued
- for the person named on the voucher
- for registration or membership fees with an approved Active Kids provider.
A voucher cannot be:
- split between more than one provider or registration (which means if you do not use the full $100 any remaining amount will not be used)
- used for individual items (like jerseys, socks or boots)
- used for the same activity within the same term as another Active Kids voucher
- redeemed for cash.
To use the voucher, give the details to your registered activity provider.
