KidSport will assist eligible families to receive up to $200 annually for each of their children aged between 5 – 18 years, to subsidise fees to join a sport and recreation club.

Eligible families include those with health care cards or pension concession card, or those referred by other community groups, such as schools, juvenile justice teams, government agencies and health practitioners. These groups are known as referral agents.

The process for accessing KidSport is simple!                                                

Kids and parents/guardians can obtain an application form from their participating local government office or their website, or from a sport or recreation club, a referral agent or anywhere local governments make them available.  The parent/guardian fills in the application and takes it to be validated at the local government they reside in.  A photocopy of the health care card or pension concession card must be attached.

Alternatively referral agents may assist in filling out the application, complete their section on the back and give it to the parent/guardian to sign.  The parent/guardian will take the voucher to the sport or recreation club for processing when registering their children.  The club will then invoice the local government. It’s that easy!

The Shire of Chittering has registered with the Department of Sport and Recreation to enable eligible families to access financial support to cover club membership fees for their children; getting more children into sport and supporting the future of local sporting clubs.

The application process for families is very simple and the Shire of Chittering is on hand to assist where necessary.
