Why might a KidSport application be unsuccessful, and what about refunds if my child withdraws?
Rule- Western Australia
- KidSport
- CITS
- Fee subsidies
- Ages 5-18
- 2026/27
- Parents
Common reasons an application is unsuccessful (KidSport emails you if it is):
- the child doesn't meet the eligibility criteria
- proof of concession is missing or insufficient, for example the card has expired or the child isn't named on it
- the amount requested is more than the child's remaining balance for the financial year.
Fees above the voucher. If club fees are higher than the voucher, you pay the difference.
Refunds and cancellations. Raise any membership cancellation or withdrawal with the club first. KidSport publishes separate refund guidelines for refund enquiries. KidSport does not pay rebates or reimbursements to parents or guardians.
Checking your balance. Enter your child's details on page 1 of the application form to see their remaining funding. The child must still meet the eligibility criteria.
Expired vouchers. A voucher expires 90 days after it is issued. Parents can reapply for a new one, within the child's remaining balance for the financial year.
