Applying for and using Play On! Sports Vouchers

How to apply for a Play On! Sports Voucher

When applications are open, parents, carers and guardians can apply for a Play On! Sports Voucher worth up to $200 for their eligible child. A maximum of one voucher is available for each eligible child per financial year.

There are two application rounds each financial year. As each child can only receive one voucher, families should apply in the round that best aligns with their child's sporting season.

  • If your child is participating in a summer sport, apply during this round.
  • If your child will be participating in a winter sport later in the financial year, you may prefer to wait for the next application round.

Applying at the right time will help you get the most value from your child's Play On! Sports Voucher.

Read and understand the Play On! Sports Voucher application terms and conditions.

Follow the steps to apply for a voucher.

1. Check your eligibility

2. Find an activity provider

Use the Play On! activity provider directory to find an approved provider.

Your Sports Voucher can only be used for:

  • membership
  • registration
  • participation fees.

A Play On! Sports Voucher can only be used once.

If your child's eligible sporting fees are less than $200, the voucher will cover the full amount. Any money left over can't be refunded, transferred or used for another sport or activity.

If your child's eligible sporting fees are more than $200, you'll need to pay the remaining amount yourself.

If you have a club or organisation in mind for your child/young person and they are not currently listed on the Play On! activity provider directory, you can approach the club to encourage them to register.

3. Register an account

Register for an Enquire account as a parent, carer or guardian before you apply for a voucher. This is only required once, so if you have previously registered for an account, you don’t need to register again.

4. Apply for a Play On! Sports Voucher

Once you have an Enquire account, log in.

You will then:

  • Select Play On! Sports Vouchers program – apply for a Play On! Sports Voucher
  • Accept the privacy statement and confirm child’s address to continue
  • Confirm if you are applying with a Health Care Card (HCC) or Pensioner Concession Card (PCC)
  • Follow the next steps to complete application.

You will need your child’s Medicare Card to apply.

If you are applying with a Health Care Card (HCC) or Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) you will need those details along with your Medicare Card to apply.
