Get Active Kids Voucher Program - Information for Parents
We’re excited to announce that Round 8 applications for the Get Active Kids Voucher Program are now open!
Rounds 1 - 7 saw over 5,000 youth members access funds to support their Scouting journeys.
In this round, applications for a voucher or a reimbursement will close at 11.59pm December 11 unless funds are exhausted sooner.
The Get Active Kids program provides vouchers or reimbursements of $200 to support families facing financial barriers to pay for memberships and participation costs. This generally means that the youth member will be named on an Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card.
Scouts Victoria is an eligible Get Active Kids Provider
All of our Groups will participate under the single Scouts Victoria ABN and we will be registered as Scouts Victoria and you must use our Get Active Kids Provider code 2996540 when submitting your application.
There are two ways to get funding for Round 8:
1. GET REIMBURSED
If you have already paid registration fees you can apply to be reimbursed for up to $200.
Reimbursements are open for eligible expenses that have been incurred from July 1 2024 until the time of submitting the application to be eligible for reimbursement or until allocation is exhausted.
2. APPLY FOR A VOUCHER
Eligible families can apply for a voucher of up to $200 which will have a unique voucher code.
Parents need to nominate Scouts Victoria as their Get Active Kids Provider when applying for the voucher. The Scouts Victoria provider code is 2996540. A voucher code, beginning with G8-2996540, will be emailed to you. Please provide this code to your child's Group Leader.
Your Group Leader will submit the voucher to Scouts Victoria to claim the $200 funding for your child. When Scouts Victoria receive the funding it will be forwarded to your Group's account.
Vouchers issued in Round 8 must be redeemed before May 20, 2025.
The key for parents is to make sure that your Health Care Card is current and that dependants are listed on the card.
