Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers explained
By InfoKids Team ·
The two programs are now one: the means-tested Active and Creative Kids voucher. Who can get it, what it's worth and how to use it.
If you remember claiming separate Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers, things have changed. Since 2024, NSW has had one combined program: Active and Creative Kids.
What you get
- $50 per child, twice a year.
- You can combine two unexpired vouchers ($100) with a single provider.
- Use them for sport and active recreation (swimming lessons, footy, dance, gymnastics) or creative and cultural activities (music, art, drama, coding).
Who is eligible
- NSW residents aged 4.5 to 18.
- The parent or carer must receive Family Tax Benefit Part A and/or Part B, in the current or previous financial year.
Current vouchers (as of October 2026)
- 2026 Voucher 1: must be used by 31 December 2026.
- 2026 Voucher 2: available since 15 July 2026; use it by 14 July 2027.
