Get Active Voucher

The Victorian Government’s Get Active Voucher helps children get involved in organised sport and physical activities by providing vouchers valued at up to $200 each. The vouchers can be used to cover the cost of memberships or registration fees, equipment or uniforms.

Subject to availability, you can apply for up to two vouchers for each eligible child.

Eligibility Requirements

Parents or legal guardians with a valid Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card with named dependents may be eligible for the voucher if their child or dependent is:

• aged 4 to 18 years

• a resident of Victoria

• named on a current (at the time of your application) Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and

• named on a valid Australian Government Medicare card.

Families who do not meet these requirements may be eligible to apply for special consideration.

You can apply for more than one voucher if you have multiple eligible children/dependents, but a separate application must be submitted for each child.

Applying for a Get Active Voucher

You can apply for a voucher here. You will need to register for the DJPR Grants Portal, but registration is quick and easy.

The voucher is a reimbursement for expenses you have already incurred, so you will need to provide receipts to prove that you spent the money.

If you have spent less than $200 you can still apply, but you will only receive a voucher to the value of what you spent.

Key Dates

There are 4 claim periods throughout the year and you can make two claims per year for every eligible child.

Eligible Activities

The activity or program must be affiliated with a Victorian State Sporting Association or Victorian State Sport and Recreation Body that is recognised by Sport and Recreation Victoria.

Eligible costs include:

• membership, registration or general fees to participate at an affiliated sport or active recreation club, association or program

• equipment required to participate in the nominated activity, including second-hand equipment

• uniforms and clothing required to participate in the nominated activity, including second-hand uniforms
