ROUND 2 of the Play On! Sports Vouchers program is open now for eligible families.
Queensland families can apply for a $200 voucher for each eligible child aged between 5 to 17 to help cover the cost of membership, registration or participation fees with registered sporting clubs across the state.
Each eligible child can receive one voucher per financial year, with a portion of vouchers reserved for children living with a disability and those living in regional and rural areas.
Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander encouraged Queensland families to take advantage of the program.
“Queensland is the home of Australian sport, and the start of a new school year is a great time for children to get active or try a new sport,” Minister Mander said.
“We know cost of living is a real concern for Queensland families, and we don’t want that to be a barrier to children being active.
“That’s why the Crisafulli Government has committed $62.5 million per year for four years to the Play On! Sports Vouchers program, providing certainty for families, community organisations and sporting clubs.
“I encourage eligible parents, carers and guardians to apply as soon as possible for Round 2 and to kick off the school year being active and healthy.”
Children who received a voucher in Round 1 are not eligible to receive another voucher in Round 2.
