In 2024 the Creative Kids & Active Kids vouchers became one. The government also changed the eligibility criteria, so they are no longer available to everyone. The vouchers help families with eligible school-aged children pay for sports, recreational, creative or cultural activities. The First Lap Learn to Swim voucher was also introduced with fewer restrictions, which finished on the 30th June 2024.
Active & Creative Kids Voucher
At a value of $50 per eligible child, the new voucher has limited availability to the general parenting community. You can apply for 2 vouchers, in terms 1 & 3 and only use them with registered providers.
You must be receiving:
Your child is:
- A NSW resident
- Aged between 4 1/2 years & 18 years old
- Enrolled in a NSW school
