Get Active Kids Voucher Program - Information for Parents

Round 10 of the Get Active Kids Voucher Program closed applications on March 30, 2026.


What is the Get Active Kids program?

The Get Active Kids voucher program is a state government funding program that provides eligible families with up to $200 to cover the costs of membership and registration in sport and active recreation.

The best bit - Get Active Kids vouchers can be used to cover the costs of Scouting! Scouts Victoria is an eligible Get Active Kids Provider. Families who wish to use vouchers towards Scouting need to provide the Scouts Victoria provider code when applying.

Children need to meet certain eligibility criteria to access a voucher or reimbursement. More information on eligibility can be found here. The summary: children must be under 18 and 'named on a valid and issued Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and Medicare card to be eligible'.

Please note that this is a state government program. All applications for funds have to be made to the state government. Scouts Victoria does not provide the vouchers. 


How can my family access funds through the program for Scouting?

Round 10 of the Get Active Kids Voucher Program closed applications on March 30, 2026. Families can no longer apply for funds through the program. If your family received a voucher during Round 10, it can still be used.

Voucher codes from Round 10 look like this: G10-2996540-XXXX, with the XXXX representing a unique combination of letters or number for each child. Each child must have their own voucher code. 


How do I use my child's voucher?

Please provide your voucher code to your child's Group Leader. Once the voucher code has been submitted to your Group Leader they can apply a discount of up to $200 (per value of the voucher) to your child's fees. Speak to your Group Leader about how this will be managed at your Group.

Your Group Leader will submit the voucher to Scouts Victoria to claim the $200 funding for your child. 

Vouchers issued in Round 10 must used towards fees or expenses incurred before April 29.


My child is in the process of joining Scouts - How do we use a Get Active Kids voucher to join?

Welcome to Scouting! You can use get Active Kids vouchers to assist with the costs of joining Scouts. 

Our online membership system can not account for Get Active Kids Vouchers. If your child is joining Scouts and you wish to use a Get Active Kids voucher toward their fees, the fees must be processed and managed by your Scout Group.

Speak to your Group Leader ASAP and let them know your family will be using a Get Active Kids voucher to cover fees. They will edit the online membership system to allow your family to complete the membership form and onboard without processing payment online. Your Group Leader will then organise fees directly with your family.
