New Round Of Play On! Sports Vouchers Available For Queensland Families

The Government is delivering cost-of-living relief Queenslanders can rely on, with Round 2 of the Play On! Sports Vouchers program opened on January 29th.

Queensland families can apply for a $200 voucher for each eligible child aged between 5 and 17 to help cover the cost of membership, registration or participation fees with registered sporting clubs.

It’s just one of the ways the Government is delivering a better lifestyle through a stronger economy and helping more Queensland kids get active and involved in sport.

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.

The Government committed $62.5 million each year for four years to help alleviate the rising cost of living across the State.

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.

“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.
