 Alison MARCHANT (Bellarine) (14:42): (1306) My question is for the Minister for Community Sport. Minister, can you advise how many families in the Bellarine have benefited from the Get Active Kids voucher program to date? Registrations are now open for sporting clubs and organisations to become Get Active Kids active providers ahead of round 9 of the program. This initiative is incredibly valuable. Not only does it mean easing the financial burden on eligible families by helping to cover their registration fees, uniforms and equipment, but it also supports local sporting clubs to boost their memberships and their participation. These increased memberships enable clubs to offer more opportunities for local kids to get active and involved. I am pleased to see that the recent state budget includes funding to continue to provide this program for another two years. I look forward to a response so I can share this information with families and clubs across the Bellarine ahead of this upcoming round.
