Parents, guardians and carers can apply for a voucher with a value of up to $100 per calendar year for each student aged 4.5 to 18 years old enrolled in school.
The voucher may be used with a registered activity provider for registration, participation and tuition costs for creative arts, speech, drama, dance, digital design, coding, and music lessons and activities.
The voucher can be used at any time during the calendar year it was issued. To use the voucher, give the details to your registered activity provider. The program runs year-round, so kids can get creative at any time.
Valley Guitars in Wauchope are one of the registered activity providers and you can use the voucher there.
“People are starting to use the vouchers already, and kids are coming in for lessons, as part of an eight-week program. The voucher pays for half of them,” said Troy White.
“We are pretty flat out with it, and we will put on intensive programs in the Easter school holidays. So many people who wouldn’t have had the opportunity to play now have a chance, and they haven’t spent too much money,” he added.
