Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible to claim the voucher?

If you’re a parent, carer or guardian, the student will be eligible if they are:

• a NSW resident with a valid Australian Medicare Card
• aged between 4.5 and 18 years, and
• enrolled in school (from Kindergarten to Year 12, including those who are home-schooled or enrolled in secondary school education at TAFE NSW).

You can apply for a voucher for each eligible student.

You can use the voucher for registration or membership costs with an approved Active Kids provider.

Things to keep in mind…

Vouchers can only be used:

• one time (if the chosen activity fees are less than $100, then the remaining balance cannot be used)
• during the calendar year they’re issued
• for the person named on the voucher
• for registration or membership fees with approved Active Kids providers.

Vouchers cannot be:

• split between more than one provider or registration (meaning you may not be able to the claim the full $100)
• used for individual items (like jerseys, socks or boots)
• redeemed for cash.

To use the voucher, give the details to your registered activity provider.
