Most Australian state and territory governments now offer incentives, in the form of Junior Sports Vouchers, to encourage more kids to participate in sport and active recreation.  Read on below for more information about Voucher redemption during online registration and what you need to supply to your local Club to complete the process.

Important Notes:

  • Check your relevant state/territory's website for more information about eligibility, how to claim/redeem, and when the Voucher Programs open and close - find links to all the government programs here!
  • Each state or territory has a different policy covering:
      • opening and closing dates - Each Voucher program has its own open/close dates for applications, and for when the Voucher needs to be given to your Approved Activity Provider (i.e. your local Club/Association).  Make sure to apply and lodge your Voucher on time!
      • who is eligible - varying factors such as the child's age, or potentially having to hold a Health Care or Concession Card.
      • how to claim - some processes are entirely online, while others may accept hard copy applications.
      • how to redeem - most of our affiliated Community Clubs are Approved Activity Providers, but you'll need to check with your local Club to confirm their redemption process (such as if you need to provide a hard copy Voucher or if an email is OK).
  • Supplying your Voucher Code at time of registration does NOT complete the Voucher redemption process at most Clubs/Associations (excluding NSW).  Ensure you find out from your local Club how to correctly redeem your Voucher and have it applied to your child's registration fees.

Redemption FAQs

I live in one state/territory, but play in another.  Can I still use a Voucher?

In most cases, you unfortunately can NOT use your Voucher at a Club across state/territory lines.

For more information, check your state/territory's website.

 

The Voucher amount isn't deducting from my registration fee amount.  Why not?

The Voucher amount will only be automatically deducted from your registration fee if you are using an Active Kids voucher in New South Wales.  This is because our system can check with NSW Active Kids for validity then funds are released to Clubs from the NSW Active Kids program.

At this stage, this option is not available for other states/territories.  When registering to Clubs outside of NSW, you are only providing the Voucher code to your Club/Association and they still need to complete the redemption process with their relevant government agency.

 

I entered my Voucher code during registration.  Do I still need to give my Voucher to the Club?

In most cases, yes.  The Club will need to confirm the Voucher code corresponds with the Player name.

Check with your Club/Association or your state/territory's website for more details.

 

Why enter my Voucher code if it won't discount my registration?

Entering your Voucher code at time of registration can help speed up the redemption process at your Club so you can get the Voucher amount assigned to your registration fees sooner.
