update:

We have made a number of changes to the eligibility criteria in Round 3 of the Program:

• The age eligibility has been expanded to include children aged 0 – 18 years (previously 4-18).
• Applicants can now apply for one voucher per child in each of the four rounds of the Program (previously it was a limit of two vouchers per child across the four rounds of the program).

Applications for Round 3 close at 5pm on Tuesday 30 November

---

Starting March 1 10AM (yes the WS will probably crash) eligible families may claim up to 2 vouchers per child in different periods for listed sports and activities. Kids must be 4-18 with 100,000 vouchers being listed.

A big one will be swimming lessons that can be claimed from Jan 1 if you can get through and grab a voucher.

To apply you must be:

• the parent or legal guardian or temporary foster or kinship carer of an eligible child
• the holder of a valid Australian Government Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card with named dependants, and
• the holder of a valid Australian Government Medicare card with named dependants.

    They are counting on the 100k vouchers to last a whole year, so I don't think that is going to happen.

  I don't think promoting exercise is a very cost effective means of shrinking the wealth gap.

  Maybe free memberships to museums/zoos and STEM related activities.

  so getting a swimming lesson at a YMCA pool would be Eligible for this?

  as had a look at the memberships which have no idea what they offer exactly, some seem to be competition but i just want my kid to learn something.

  Comparing this to NSW's criteria, I'm quite surprised you need to hold a health care/pension card to be eligible…

  Eligibility
  If you’re a parent, carer or guardian, the student will be eligible if they are:

  a NSW resident
  aged between 4.5 and 18 years
  enrolled in school (from Kindergarten to Year 12, including those who are home-schooled or enrolled in secondary school education at TAFE NSW)
  a current Medicare card holder.
  You can apply for a voucher for each eligible student.

  Website still not working properly. cant submit because they have issues with confirming your identity. spoke to them 3 times already. they have confirmed it is an IT issue.

    Kayla03 on 02/03/2021 - 12:55

    Has anyone managed to submit the claim? Still showing issue with identity confirmation today.

  popsiee on 01/03/2021 - 15:07

  I'm stuck on getting receipts for the activities : (
  It really is a pain in the ass all the info they want .

• 

  joffaa on 03/03/2021 - 08:34

  I have rung 5 times before I got a solution. (It would not verify my id. ) I had to submit my claim manually via email to [email protected].

  However you need to ring Business Victoria first and get an ID number.

  I called and emailed but still no helping..

  joffaa on 05/03/2021 - 14:14

  they are still having issues with the website confirming identity. Until then you cannot submit a claim. it bounces back and becomes a draft again.

    Wuwu on 05/03/2021 - 22:14

    Do you think they will ever fix the problem?

• 

  joffaa on 24/03/2021 - 15:20
