Families to save with voucher swap scheme

NSW Nationals

Parents will have more choice when it comes to cost of living support thanks to the NSW Nationals' Active Kids and Creative Kids voucher swap initiative.

From term 2, families will be able to use the two vouchers interchangeably, letting kids do more of what they love.

The Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers have been incredibly popular with parents across the state, with almost 7 million vouchers already downloaded and redeemed, saving families almost $700 million.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the change would allow families to lean in to the activities their kids loved.

"Whether it's playing netball, footy or the violin, we want kids to be able to extract the most out of every day. Helping families with costs like these means they can focus on seeing their kids grow and kick goals, no matter what they love doing," Mr Toole said.

The voucher swap program will commence from the start of Term 2 ( April 26) and only apply to:

• $100 Active Kids voucher for sport and recreation costs including school holiday programs.

• $100 Creative Kids voucher for arts and cultural activities costs including school holiday classes and workshops.

Families can download their child's vouchers via the Service NSW app or website and by calling 13 77 88.

This is all part of the NSW Nationals' commitment to supporting families with more than 70 ways to save across the Savings Finder program."
