It is the expectation that at least ONE PARENT or GUARDIAN holds a current Working With Children Check. WWCC is compulsory for your participation at CJFC.

The Victorian Government’s ‘Active Kids’ voucher program is designed to ensure that all children in Victoria have the opportunity to participate in sports and other physical activities. The program provides eligible families with $200 vouchers, which can be used at the Cheltenham Junior Football Club. Parents can add their voucher numbers at the bottom of the checkout page during registration.

To apply for the vouchers, families can submit their applications starting from Tuesday 10 October 2023 until allocations are exhausted. The vouchers have an expiry date of Tuesday 30 April 2024, so it’s important to apply and utilise them before that date.

The vouchers can be used to pay for sporting equipment, uniforms, and memberships in a wide range of activities, including club cricket, dance, and learn-to-swim classes for toddlers.

To be eligible for the vouchers, children must be Victorian residents, aged 0 to 18 years, and their names should appear on a valid Commonwealth Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card. They should also be named on a valid Medicare Card at the time of application.

There is also a special consideration stream available for children residing in Victorian Care Services, temporary or provisional visa holders, undocumented migrants, and international students up to 18 years old at the time of application. 

More information on this stream can be found on the getactive.vic.gov.au/vouchers website or by emailing getactivekids@sport.vic.gov.au.

It is recommended that parents apply for the vouchers as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this opportunity to support their children’s participation in sports and physical activities.

By joining our club, you’ll be able to improve your skills and develop lasting friendships. Our dedicated coaching staff and supportive community will ensure that you have a rewarding and enjoyable experience throughout the season.

Register now and become a part of our inclusive One Club – One Vision Cheltenham Panthers.

We look forward to welcoming you to the club and making the 2024 season a

memorable one!
