USE OF SCHOOL BUSES IN RURAL AND REGIONAL VICTORIA
YACVic Rural wants to hear from young people and workers in the youth sector about how to make transport better for rural and regional young people. We want to know what’s working well, where the gaps are and how to improve public transport for young people. YACVic Rural will listen to what you tell us and amplify your voice to the Victorian Parliament through their Inquiry into the Use of School Buses in Rural and Regional Victoria.
This is a great opportunity to improve access to transport in your part of rural and regional Victoria. YACVic welcomes sharing the survey link below to bus travellers within your schools and within school newsletters.
Fill out the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YACVicRuralBus
If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact Sebastian on 0431 904 385 or santoine@yacvic.org.au.
GET ACTIVE KIDS VOUCHER
The $21 million Get Active Kids Voucher Program is a Victorian first and supports children to get involved in organised sport and physical activities by providing vouchers valued up to $200 each, to help eligible families with the cost of memberships or registration fees, equipment or uniforms.
The program will support 100,000 vouchers and help Victorian children to get back on the pitch, court, the nets, field or in the pool – to have fun with their friends.
The Get Active Kids Voucher Program is part of Get Active Victoria, which is helping families to move more, every day. With 80 per cent of children in Victoria not doing the recommended amount of physical activity, Get Active Kids Vouchers will make it possible for more kids to get active, happy and healthy.
