The state government has doubled the funding for the SwimStart program, injecting a further $5 million through vouchers for children aged 0 to 4 years.
The vouchers are aimed at helping families experiencing cost of living pressures, allowing to access swimming lessons for their children.
The program delivers vouchers valued up to $150 per child for swimming lessons.
There is a limit of 1 voucher per child per financial year.
SwimStart vouchers can be redeemed with close to 180 registered activity providers across the state.
The additional $5 million more than doubles funding to the SwimStart program up to June 2025.
