KidSport Grants Program

The Shire of Tammin is delighted to be involved in the KidSport grants program in partnership with the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport. KidSport makes it possible for all children within the Shire to participate in community sport and recreation.

Why sporting and recreation clubs are important: 

  • Active kids learn better.
  • Kids who participate in sport and recreation are physically and mentally healthier.
  • Clubs bring people and communities together.
  • It’s fun!
  • Clubs are a great place to meet lifelong friends.
  • Some of the best conversations you will ever have with your kids will be in the car to and from training, to and from the game.
  • Learn positive values.
  • Kids who join clubs feel part of the community and develop a sense of pride in that community.

Am I eligible? 

The KidSport program helps keep kids healthy and active through participation in sport by providing financial assistance to families. Eligible children aged 5 to 18 years in Western Australia can receive up to $300 per financial year to cover the costs of joining any approved KidSport club.

Vouchers can be used for club registration fees.  Where the KidSport club has opted in, vouchers can also be used for essential uniform and equipment costs. Vouchers can be used across multiple KidSport clubs, helping more children get active and connect with community sport.  All vouchers are valid for 90 days.
