Parents encouraged to check eligibility for Creative Kids vouchers

Boorowa families are being encouraged to check their eligibility for the Creative Kids voucher, which saves $100 per child off the cost of creative and cultural learning activities.

Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman said, “Parents simply love Creative Kids and have given it the thumbs up. This voucher helps parents plan for creative and cultural activities, which can really add to a household budget.”

“This program complements the hugely popular Active Kids vouchers which were doubled to two vouchers per child from July 1. For a family with two children, Creative and Active Kids vouchers combined will save you $600 per year. Involvement in creative and cultural learning activities is critical to a child’s growth and development – but enrolment costs can be expensive. This voucher can help unlock a child’s creative talent,” Mrs Tuckerman added.

Creative and cultural activities include creative arts, speech, drama, languages, digital design, coding and music.

In NSW, there are over 2800 approved Creative Kids providers at over 2600 locations.

Over 250 000 Creative Kids vouchers have been downloaded in the last six months.
