Parents and carers are urged to get ready for the next round of Get Started.
The Get Started Voucher program will open on Wednesday, July 12.
Vouchers, funded by the Get in the Game program, are worth up to $150 to help families take part in local sport and recreation activities.
Minister for Sport Mick de Brenni said $2 million had been allocated for round 10 of the program.
“Demand for the last round of Get Started Vouchers was so high we had to reopen the round and release more,” he said.
“Vouchers are issued on a ‘first come, first served’ basis so you need to be quick if you want to secure this funding.
“We know family budgets are under incredible pressure and these vouchers have been an enormous benefit to Queensland families in helping them to get their children involved in organised sport and recreation activities.
“For any eligible parent who is keen to get their hands on a voucher for their child in this round, I would encourage them to pre-register for this latest round of Get Started Vouchers now.”
Mr de Brenni said more than 13,300 vouchers would be available through Round 10.
“More than 4,200 clubs across Queensland have registered for the Get Started Vouchers program, ensuring there is a huge range of activities on offer,” he said.
“In previous July rounds of this program, we’ve seen the highest number of vouchers redeemed for sports such as rugby league, athletics, gymnastics, soccer and swimming.
“We know the importance of teaching children to live active lifestyles and these vouchers are important in removing some of the barriers for participation in organised sport and recreation.”
