Narre Warren South electorate
Mr MAAS (Narre Warren South) (14:50): (6215) My constituency question is for the Minister for Community Sport and concerns the Get Active kids voucher program. Minister, how will the changes to this program assist families in my electorate of Narre Warren South’s and children’s access to organised sport? The Get Active kids voucher program has reduced the barriers for so many families who struggle to meet the basic costs of grassroots sport for their children. I understand a more streamlined voucher process has been initiated to reduce the burden on eligible families with the removal of the reimbursement model in favour of a more direct approach. Physical activity is so important for our children’s mental and physical health, and the social aspects of joining a club are also incredibly beneficial. I would appreciate any further information that the minister can provide on how the Get Active kids voucher program will assist my constituents, and I look forward to sharing that response with my community.
