Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a NSW Active Kids Voucher to save $100?

1. Go to Active Kids Voucher on the NSW Government Services portal to apply.

2. If you have an account then Log In or setup a new account if you’ve never had one.

3. You will need your Medicare card details for each player you are applying for.

4. Record the voucher number (Service NSW will send you an email with the details too).

Can I register first and then get my Active Kids Voucher later?

No. You must have an Active Kids Voucher BEFORE registering your child.  Please have all details with you when going through the registration process as the voucher cannot be applied afterwards.

How do age groupings work?

The age group you’re in depends on your age at the start of the year. For example players turning 6 in 2020 will be in the under 6's etc. 

Are all kids in the same team the same age?

Generally they are. In certain exceptional cases a player might be a year younger than everyone else in the team. For example, you might have an under 9's team where one of the players in the team actually qualifies for the under 8's age group and should technically be in a team in the under 8's. The practice isn’t recommended but it does occur occasionally,  particularly when a player has joined the club very young and plays with the same team as they progresses through the years.

My child wants to play in a higher age group with school friends?

As a club we discourage this practice due to the potential safety risks of playing against opponents who are a year older. The style of game that each age group plays is tailored to the skills and abilities of that specific age group and from a duty of care perspective, we prefer if players play in their own age group. However, there are exceptions to this rule and requests are assessed individually by the appropriate Vice President and a decision made.

Is medical insurance included?

Yes. A portion of your registration fee is used to pay for the ARU Insurance Plan. This plan covers all registered players for injuries whilst engaging in rugby for the club; whether it be at training, during a game or overseas or interstate on a club tour.

The insurance coverage is for medical expenses that are not in any way covered by Medicare and after reimbursement from your private health fund. Examples of items covered include; physiotherapy, dental, hire of artificial aids such as splints and crutches, etc. As a club we recommend all players have private health insurance as well.
