SwimStart Round 3 is now open. Apply for a $150 voucher for swimming lessons for children aged 0 to 4.
When a round is open, parents, carers or guardians can apply for a voucher valued up to $150 for their child, which can be used towards swimming lessons with a registered SwimStart activity provider. There is a limit of 1 voucher per child per financial year.
If you're experiencing financial hardship but don't meet the eligibility criteria, you can approach someone working with your child in a professional capacity to be a referral agent for you. They need to have known the child professionally for at least three months and will need to register online to become a referral agent.

Register an account
Parents, carers and guardians need to register for an Enquire account before applying for a SwimStart voucher. Registering for an Enquire account only needs to be done once. The same account can be used if you’ve registered previously for other voucher programs.
SwimStart vouchers can only be used with approved SwimStart activity providers.
If you have an activity provider or organisation in mind for your child and they are not listed on the activity provider directory, please approach the organisation to find out whether they plan to register.
Contact the SwimStart activity provider to find out the costs of the activity.
Your voucher can only be used for membership, registration or participation fees. If the fees are more than $150, you will need to pay the difference.
Under the Vouchers heading, find the relevant voucher. You can filter vouchers (search for a specific voucher) by typing the child/young person’s name.
