Thanks to the Victorian Government, your child could be eligible for up to $200 to support their involvement in sport and recreation activities, including Swimming Lessons here at Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre.

The Get Active Kids Voucher Program helps eligible families by assisting with the cost of membership and registration fees, uniforms and equipment for affiliated sports with applications now open until 10 May 2023.

Financial support is available through two funding streams:

1. Reimbursement for costs already paid
2. A voucher towards future costs not yet paid

To help your family access this funding we’ve put together the key information needed for you, with full details of the program available at: https://www.getactive.vic.gov.au/vouchers/apply-for-vouchers/
