Get Started in sport
The Get Started program provides eligible children and young people aged 5 to 17 (inclusive) who can least afford to join a sport or recreation club with a voucher valued at up to $150 for membership and/or registration fees.
There are several organisations that accept the vouchers on the Cooloola Coast including sports shooting, swimming, bowls, golf, sailing and athletics. Go to the club locator at https://www.qld.gov.au/recreation/sports/funding/getinthegame/getstarted/ to find a provider or to apply.
Round 12 of Get Started vouchers open July 25, so get in quick as they allocate fast. Just in time, as the Cooloola Coast Little Athletics are having their open/sign on day on Saturday August 4 at the Tin Can Bay School oval, starting at 8.30am. Contact Jess Milne on 0411 218 254 for further information.
