Funding amount and details

You can apply for a maximum of $500 each financial year, which can be used for club registration fees, uniforms and equipment. The amount granted is dependent on what your child's sporting club charges for registration.

Each voucher code issued will be valid for a period of 90 days. This means that you must submit your code to the club within 90 days from the date you receive your approval email.

Please note: 
  • Retrospective fees are not payable through KidSport.
  • The fees go directly to the registered KidSport clubs participating in the project.
