A new round of NSW Government vouchers is on the way next month, delivering cost of living relief for families. 

The new Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers are designed to help with registration and membership fees to lessen costs of sport activities like swimming and football or creative activities like music, art, drama, coding or language. 

Around 600,000 children are expected to be eligible for the program which combines the previously separate vouchers. Now families will receive two $50 vouchers per year for every school-aged child and can be used toward any eligible physical, recreational, creative or cultural activity. 

To be eligible for the new vouchers, a school age child must be in the care of a parent, guardian or carer who is receiving the Family Tax Benefit A and/or the Family Tax Benefit B.

The NSW government has asked eligible businesses and organisations to register beforehand. Getting applications in early will ensure a more streamlined process for accepting a new and improved point of sale voucher redemption system. 

Acting Executive Director Service NSW Business Bureau, Tina Dougherty says, “we have developed new digital tools within the Service NSW Business Bureau App to make it even easier for Providers who want to participate in the Active and Creative Kids voucher program in 2024.”

Providers who have signed up to previous programs must apply again to be able to accept the new vouchers.
