Get Started assists children and young people who can least afford or may otherwise benefit from joining a sport or recreation club. Eligible children and young people are provided with a voucher of up to $150 to help pay for club membership and/or participation fees.

Eligible children and young people from the age of five, and under the age of 18 who are residents of Queensland and:

• hold or whose parent, guardian or carer holds a Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or
• other children or young people identified by two referral agents.

The vouchers can be redeemed at a sport or recreation club registered with the program.
