Following a record year, the State Government’s $100 Sports Vouchers program has returned for 2024 having saved South Australian families nearly $9 million in 2023.
This year even more families will be able to access the sports vouchers with the program expanding to include Scouts and Girl Guides for the first time.
Now in its tenth year, the initiative has seen nearly 600,000 vouchers redeemed and provided more than $48 million towards helping South Australian children participate in sport and active recreation.
Families with children engaging in active recreation through Scouts and Girl Guides are now for the first time able to participate in the program, with changes coming into effect 1 January 2024.
The program is open to all school aged children up to Year 9, and in recent years has also been expanded to include learn to swim and dance. Those eligible can use one $100 voucher in a calendar year.
A record 88,749* vouchers were used in 2023 across 1,253 providers.
The most popular sports for the program in 2023 were Australian Rules (20,326), football (soccer) (13,169), netball (10,111), swimming (9,717) and gymnastics (6,791).
