Active and Creative Kids Voucher FAQs

It's a NSW Government program that helps families with the cost of sport, recreation, creative and cultural activities. Eligible families can get a $50 voucher for each eligible child, twice a year. Creative Kids World is a registered provider, so you can use your voucher for one of our creative writing workshops.

Parents, guardians and carers in NSW who receive Family Tax Benefit (Part A, Part B or both) can apply for a voucher for each eligible school-aged child. Service NSW sets the eligibility rules, so check the latest details on their website.

Apply through the Service NSW app or your MyServiceNSW account. Once approved, your voucher appears in the app. Check eligibility and apply at Service NSW →

There are two vouchers each year. One is available from 15 January and the other from 15 July. Each voucher can only be used once and must be used before the expiry date shown on it.
