Parents in NSW are now able to start claiming $100 towards extra-curricular sport and other physical activity fees thanks to the NSW Government’s new Active Kids program.

Active Kids will provide a $100 voucher for parents to put towards sporting fees and registration costs for every school-aged child in NSW.

The health of our children is a priority for me and every parent. I hope this makes a difference in enabling you to enrol your child in the sport or physical activity of your choice.

Families will be able to use the voucher for registration and membership costs, as well as fees for activities such as swimming.

The annual voucher will not be means tested because the NSW Government wants every child from every family to get active and involved in community sport and fitness.

Parents are able to use their voucher to claim up to $100 per school-child, per calendar year to reduce the cost of sport registration or membership of approved active recreation activities.

More details about the program and eligible sports is available at sport.nsw.gov.au/activekids or by phoning Service NSW on 13 77 88
