The Creative Kids program (and Active Kids program) will be ending soon on Friday 30 June 2023.

JUNE 2023 UPDATE:  The NSW Government will continue the Active and Creative Kids voucher programs more sustainable by introducing a new means-tested scheme from Term 1 next year. This will be for families receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A. The new voucher will be for $50 and will be issued twice a year, at the start of terms 1 and 3, beginning in 2024. It will cover activities currently available under both the Active Kids and Creative Kids voucher programs.

As an interim measure, the current Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers will be extended from July 1 2023 until the new scheme is in place from 1 February 2024. The interim vouchers will be to the value of $50 for school-aged children.
