Families across the Territory can trim hundreds of dollars off their children’s sporting costs with the next round of the NT government’s Sport and Learn to Swim Vouchers available from July 1.
Every school aged child aged five years and older, enrolled in a Northern Territory school from Transition to Year 12, is eligible for a $100 sport voucher every six months.
The vouchers can be used with more than 300 approved sport, recreation and cultural activity providers.
Families with children under the age of five can also access two $100 Learn to Swim Vouchers each year, supporting early access to water safety skills and participation in swim school programs.
The Northern Territory Government has allocated $4 million in 2025-26 to deliver Sport and Learn to Swim Vouchers in urban centres across the NT, with an additional $4.3 million for the Active Regional and Remote Communities Program (ARRCP) to support year-round sport, recreation and cultural programs in regional and remote areas.
Minister for People, Sport and Culture, Jinson Charls, said the program delivers meaningful cost of living relief for Territory families and helps young people stay active and engaged.
“We know the benefits of sport and active recreation go far beyond a playing field. These vouchers help families stay connected to the activities they love and support the Territory lifestyle we all love,” said Mr Charls.
“Active participation in sport, recreation, cultural and swimming programs support our kids’ health and wellbeing, keeps them busy, and builds confidence, friendships and resilience along the way.”
