SPORTS VOUCHERS Double in SA Budget

The State Government will also provide $54.6 million over four years to permanently double the support under the sports vouchers program for each eligible child from one to two $100 vouchers for school-aged children from Reception to Year 9. If your club accepts sports vouchers, this will be a booster for families to assist financially with membership or sailing programs.
