The program provides financial assistance to eligible Victorian children and young people, helping families cover the cost of participating in sport and active recreation.
By reducing financial barriers, the program helps more children and young people get active, whether they are returning to sport or recreation or trying a new activity for the first time.
Since launching in 2020, the Get Active Kids Voucher Program has supported Victorian families experiencing financial pressures to access organised sport and active recreation.
Eligible children can receive a voucher of up to $200, which can be used towards eligible costs such as membership and registration fees.

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.
Sporting clubs, schools and community organisations across the Central Highlands can now access free support to create more welcoming and inclusive environments through the Sport4All Program. Based at Sports Central, Heidi Biggin is the Sport4All Inclusion Coach for the Central Highlands Region.
