The NSW Government’s Active Kids program is now open for 2019.
Last year the program helped families save more than $54 million in children’s sport, fitness and recreation activities.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said 540,000 of the $100 vouchers were redeemed in 2018.
“We have made it a priority to reduce childhood overweight and obesity rates in NSW and now with Active Kids we have almost half of all school-enrolled kids enjoying the benefits of exercise,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said parents could register online for the Active Kids program again in 2019 to receive their $100 voucher to go towards membership expenses and fees.
“Active kids are happy and healthy kids and this program means that every child in the state has the opportunity to be fit and active,” Mr Ayres said.
Active Kids aims to reduce overweight and obesity rates of children by five per cent over ten years.
There are 9600 approved Active Kids providers across NSW.
