What is the Active Kids rebate?
Every student aged from 4 1/2 to 18 years old enrolled in a school from Kindergarten to Year 12 is eligible. The $100 voucher can be used for registration and participation costs for sport and fitness activities.
Commencing 31 January 2018- The NSW Government will provide a $100 voucher to parents/guardians of school enrolled children. It will not be means tested and it includes those who are home-schooled or enrolled in secondary school education at TAFE NSW.
One voucher will be available for every child in the family annually over the next four years, and there won’t be any limits on the number of applications per family, as long as every child is enrolled in school.
How long are vouchers valid?
Vouchers provided are valid for redemption during the current calendar year activity program (Year 1 will commence from 31 January and expire on 31 December 2018). Vouchers shall expire at the end of the calendar year. 2019 vouchers and beyond will commence from 1 January each year and expire on 31 December.
Vouchers are available for redemption once only for the nominated registered season or term of activity, so they can’t be split over multiple sports.
What can the voucher be used for?
The voucher can be used for registration or membership fees for structured activities of no less than eight weeks’ duration that provide a moderate to vigorous level of physical activity, for example:
- sporting pursuits
- swimming lessons
- structured fitness program
- outdoor education programs
- approved active recreation (dance etc)
- equipment ordinarily provided by the provider on registration for competition.
