All parents with school aged children will have help with sporting and fitness-related costs. No parent should have to second guess if they can afford this year’s sport and other fitness activity fees. We want to get kids moving and remove barriers to playing sport
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said from today all parents with school-aged children will have help to cover the cost of sports and active recreation fees.
Active Kids will contribute $100 for every child towards the cost of sports registration, membership expenses and fees for physical activities such as swimming, dance lessons and athletics.
Active kids are happy and healthy kids and this is going to make a difference to many families. Active Kids is a key initiative of the 2017-18 Budget and will not be means-tested.
It supports the Premier’s Priority to reduce overweight and obesity rates of children by five per cent over ten years.
Parents have until December 31 to claim and use their voucher at sport.nsw.gov.au/activekids or by phoning Service NSW on 13 77 88
