How does KidSport work?

You can apply for KidSport online or by using a hard copy application form.

KidSport applications are assessed by the local government in which the child resides or by the KidSport team at Sport and Recreation (WA). If an application is approved, the KidSport team will email you a voucher code (unique to the child). The code needs to be provided to the club when registering so that the approved amount can be deducted from the registration or membership fees.

All voucher codes will expire in 90 days.
