Create NSW is working with Service NSW to develop the framework for the new Creative Kids initiative.  Based on the successful Active Kids model, Creative Kids will provide $100 vouchers to subsidise school aged children’s involvement in creative cultural activities.

From January 2019, parents will be able to access both the $100 Active Kids voucher and the $100 Creative Kids voucher each year for every school-aged child.  Museums and galleries will be able to register as Creative Kids providers later this year.

The draft eligibility criteria for providers are:

• Structured creative and cultural lesson(s) or activities
• For-profit or not-for-profit activity providers located in NSW.
• Hold a current ABN
• Hold appropriate skills, experience or qualifications for low risk activities they provide and/or appropriate
• Accreditation of high risk activities
• Obtain a Working with Children’s Check, clearance for all staff and/or volunteer as required
• Hold a relevant insurance e.g. Certificate of Currency

Create NSW is interested in your feedback to help inform the program.
