Vouchers help kids get in the game

Local families eligible for the Queensland Government’s ‘Get Started’ vouchers for kids sport can get online and apply for the current round.
Get Started vouchers are a funding program offered as part of the government’s ‘Get In The Game’ initiative to support junior sport.
Get Started vouchers assist children and young people who can least afford, or may otherwise benefit from joining a sport or active recreation club.
Eligible children and young people can apply for a voucher valued up to $150, which can be redeemed at a sport or recreation club that is registered for Get Started vouchers.
Eligible applicants are Queensland children and young people aged from 5 to 17 (inclusive) who either:
• hold or whose parent, carer or guardian hold a valid Centrelink Health Care Card or pensioner, concession card with the child’s name on it; or
• are identified by a registered referral agent.
A maximum of $150 per voucher is available to help pay the cost of sport or recreation membership and/or participation fees.
There is a limit of one voucher per child/young person per calendar year.
