Parents, guardians and carers can apply for a voucher with a value of up to $100 per calendar year for each student aged 4.5 to 18 years old enrolled in school.

The voucher may be used with a registered activity provider for registration, participation and tuition costs for creative arts, speech, drama, dance, digital design, coding, and music lessons and activities.

The voucher can be used at any time during the calendar year it was issued.

Because we are a registered provider for music related activities, you can obtain one voucher per child, per year by logging into your Service NSW account, filling in your details, then just simply print and return your completed forms to us where we will lodge your form for use with your music activity here at N E W T O N E M U S I C.   If you don't have a printer simply save your completed form as a .PDF then email that to us at [email protected]

The program runs year-round, so kids can get creative at any time.

What is Creative Kids?

Creative Kids is a program to help NSW families meet the cost of getting their kids into creative and cultural activities.

As of 1 January 2019, the NSW Government is providing a voucher of up to $100 for parents/guardians/carers to use towards the payment of lesson and activity costs with an approved provider registered with the Creative Kids program.

The program allows eligible recipients to receive one voucher per eligible child each calendar year for 4 years, commencing
​1 January 2019.

The voucher can only be used one time with one provider. If an activity costs less than $100, the balance of the voucher cannot be redeemed.
