| More Get Active Kids vouchers to help pay for uniforms, shoes and fees are on offer for families to Dance this spring and summer as restrictions ease. Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence has announced applications for the third round of the $21 million Get Active Kids Voucher Program are now open. For the first time kids under four will be eligible, providing an opportunity to enroll in Kindy and Play Dance classes. Recipients in previous rounds are also eligible meaning young Victorians can continue to dance and try additional styles. The Get Active Kids Voucher Program helps young Victorians facing barriers to participating in sport and recreation. To be eligible, kids need to be aged 0 to 18, a Victorian resident, named on a valid Commonwealth Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and named on a valid Medicare Card at the time of application. The program also provides a special consideration stream to support temporary or provisional visa holders, undocumented migrants and international students aged up to 18 years at the time of application. Eligible expenditure dates (for fees, uniform and equipment costs) in round three are from 1 January 2021 – 30 November 2021. Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday 30 November 2021.
