The NSW Government initiative of the Active Kids Rebate is available to be redeemed from Service NSW TODAY!

31/1/2018

The rebate is aimed to help reduce the barriers for families wanting to have their children participate in the activities of sport and fitness, by helping with the cost of wanting to be a part of a sporting community. Therefore the NSW Government has allocated each child aged from 4.5 - 18 years' old and enrolled in full time school a $100 voucher, which can be applied to the overall cost such as registration and other sign up costs.

Here's some quick notes which you will need to know about this offer

The Active Kids Voucher can only be redeemed once per child
The voucher cannot be split over several applications, and will have to be used in its entirety at the time of use, any unused portion is forfeited
The programs which it is applied to must run for a minimum of eight weeks
The child applying for the voucher must be enrolled in school (Kindergarten to Year 12, including the home-schooling system). Or enrolled in a secondary education such as TAFE NSW, for those early school leavers who are still under 18 years of age.
The voucher will be available to be used from its release (31st of January 2018) to the end of the calendar year (31st of December 2018). If it is not used after this date, the value of the voucher will expire and will not be valid for use in 2019.
After applying for your voucher, head to the Play Football website to register for your Club. To apply the discount to your registration, at the invoice screen enter your code you receive into the “Active Kids Voucher” field and your registration will automatically be updated with the discount. If you have already registered, provide the voucher to your club so that they can validate the code

At the point of applying for the voucher, the parent, guardian or carer will need a valid Medicare Card with the details of the child as well as a MyServiceNSW Account

Who is eligible to claim the voucher?

It will not be means tested and one voucher will be available for every child in the family annually over the next four years.
There will be no limits on the number of applications per family, as long as every child is enrolled in school.

How long are vouchers valid?
Vouchers provided are valid for redemption during the current calendar year activity program (Year 1 will commence from 31 January and expire on 31 December 2018). Vouchers shall expire at the end of the calendar year.
2019 vouchers and beyond will commence from 1 January each year and expire on 31 December.

Vouchers are available for redemption once only for the nominated registered season or term of activity.

structured fitness program
outdoor education programs
approved active recreation (dance etc)

Physical activity is defined as movement involving large muscles (e.g. running, swimming, aerobic activity). Physical activity must be planned, structured and involve repetitive bodily movement which improves or maintains physical fitness.
The vouchers will be redeemable through approved sport, fitness and physical activity providers upon registration.
Please note that vouchers cannot be split between multiple clubs or registrations, and therefore you may not be able to claim the full $100.

FAQ'S

What can’t the voucher be used for?
Individual items (such as jerseys, socks, boots, etc.) that would usually be purchased from a retailer and paid for by the individual as part of participating in the activity separate to any membership or registration fees charged by the provider.

How do you download a voucher?

From 31 January 2018 families will be able to claim their voucher/s.

What happens if my child lives outside NSW?
To be eligible for a voucher, each child must reside in NSW.

The club or activity provider where the child registers must also be located and operating in NSW.

Some examples are:
My child lives in NSW and plays in a NSW club – the child is eligible to claim a voucher
My child lives in QLD and plays in a NSW club – the child is ineligible to claim a voucher
My child lives in NSW, goes to school in VIC – the child is eligible to claim a voucher
My child lives in NSW but plays in a local club located in VIC – the child is eligible to claim a voucher but cannot use the voucher at a club operating outside NSW.

Derek Byrnes Annual Memorial Challenge 7/10/17

9/10/2017

The 6th edition of the Derek Cup against Bathurst provided many highlights, as always. Manton surprised by bringing a strong squad down the Mountain, on race weekend no less. The injured Colo manager, however, had assembled an eclectic match day selection. Northcote had been in boot camp mode for weeks and screamed "oh no"!!! - Dragan like- when Manton headed in the opener against an otherwise brilliant and flamboyantly dressed Dwayne Saunders. The initial response was to play three Calphy's at the same time. Absolute master stroke. But the move only really paid off when wing man Dragan became inspired by the massive support from his injured team mates Al & Ek on the side line, who took heckling to atmospheric new levels.
