Ready to Get Active? Voucher program open

Round Six of the Victorian Government’s Get Active Kids Voucher Program is now open!

 

The Get Active Kids Voucher program helps eligible families get their kids involved in organised sport and active recreation activities like Girl Guides by providing financial support for the cost of membership. Eligible children may be able to receive up to $200 each, which can be put toward Guiding membership fees.

The Program encourages kids to re-engage or to participate for the first time in new activities by reducing the cost of participation which can be a significant barrier to participation.

Girl Guides Victoria is a registered activity provider, and all Girl Guide Victoria Units will be able to participate under the single Girl Guides Victoria ABN.

That means Girl Guides Victoria will be able to accept vouchers of up to $200 to support eligible families in all Girl Guide units right across Victoria to put toward membership fees.

Applications for Round 6 of the Program opened on 21 February 2023 and applications can be made until 10 May 2023.

How do I know if I am eligible?

To be eligible for a voucher or reimbursement, children (0-18) must be Victorian residents, and be named in a valid and issued Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and named on a valid Medicare card.

Families/guardians can apply for multiple children but must apply separately for each child. You can claim one voucher per eligible child in round 6.

Additionally, special consideration also applies for children residing in care services as well as temporary or provisional visa holders, undocumented migrants or international students. Please refer to the Program Guidelines on the Get Active Victoria website for more information.

Find out if you are eligible, how to apply, what costs are covered and more, here.

How do I apply for a voucher?

Applications can be made online on the Get Active Victoria Voucher webpage.

Applications must be made by 10 May 2023.
