Morwell electorate
Martin CAMERON (Morwell) (14:40): (562) My question is for the Minister for Community Sport, and I ask: will the state government announce another round of the Get Active Kids voucher program for this year? The winter sports season is upon us, and clubs in my electorate would normally already be processing these vouchers for the children who rely on them to participate in community sport. Three weeks out from season 2024, despite numerous inquiries there is no information about whether the vouchers will be available this year. Children should be able to participate in community sport regardless of their personal circumstances, and they should not be excluded just because their families cannot afford to pay the associated costs. If the program is not running in 2024, then it is incumbent on this government that other financial support is available to ensure children can still play their chosen sport. Minister, will you release another round of the Get Active Kids voucher program?
