The Victorian Government’s Get Active Kids Voucher Program is now open for Round 11, providing eligible children and young people with up to $200 towards sport and active recreation costs. Families can use vouchers for eligible membership and registration fees, helping reduce financial barriers and support participation in community sport.
Sports Central is partnering with VicHealth and Regional Sport Victoria to Set the Standard across the Central Highlands. The initiative connects coaches and club leaders with practical resources and subsidised anti-racism training, helping sporting clubs prevent and respond to racism while creating healthier, welcoming and culturally safe environments for everyone.
