PLEASE NOTE that the Active Kids program is changing from 2024 with restricted eligibility. Please check at Service NSW to see if you qualify.
Active Kids is a program to help NSW families meet the cost of getting their kids into sport and active fitness and recreation activities. It is a voucher scheme and parents must apply for a voucher with Service NSW (i.e. not from Epping Eastwood FC or FNSW).
Children (4.5 – 18 years old) enrolled in school from Kindergarten to Year 12 may be eligible for an Active Kids Voucher. This includes those who are home-schooled or enrolled in secondary school education at TAFE NSW. Only one voucher per child can be claimed each six-months (two per calendar year).
Epping Eastwood FC is a registered provider and you can use your voucher as a discount on junior/mini player registration with us.
First obtain your Voucher Code from Service NSW (if eligible), then head to Play Football to register. During the registration process (at the checkout) there is an option to enter in your Active Kids Voucher Code. The system will automatically validate this code and you will receive your discount if you have entered a valid code.
Can we explain all that again? Sure!
- Parents apply for Voucher Code via Service NSW Website
- Player registers via Play Football
- Parents enter their Voucher Code during the registration process
- The system will automatically check the validity of that code and where approved, the invoice will automatically update
- Where the code entered by the parent is not valid, the parent will only be able to make payment for the FULL Registration Fee.
If you choose not to use an Active Kids Voucher and pay in full, you CANNOT change your mind and use the Voucher later. (Although you can use it for another sport if your child does other activities). Also, you are not required to use an Active Kids Voucher if you don't want to, or if you prefer to use it for something else.
There is a specific support centre in place for the Active Kids Voucher Program managed by Service NSW and/or Office of Sport. Any questions or queries in specific relation to the eligibility of a child for the Active Kids Voucher Program will need to be directed to the Service NSW/Office of Sport Support centre (not Epping Eastwood FC).
Note that the Active Kids Voucher can NOT be exchanged for cash under any circumstances. If you cancel your player registration with us, we can only refund the remaining part of your registration and not the voucher. However if you transfer to another club in NWSF we will transfer the voucher to the other club. We are legally prohibited from refunding the voucher as cash.
