Round two of the Get in the Game programs is open!! The three-year Get in the Game initiative is made up of three programs — Get Started, Get Going and Get Playing — aimed at helping clubs grow by providing better sport and recreation activities and facilities, and giving children, who can’t af-ford or may otherwise benefit from the chance to get involved in sport and recrea-tion activities. Round one of the programs was a huge success, with more than 12,000 vouchers issued to children and young people to help them join a sport or recreation clubs through Get Started, 475 clubs receiving total funding of $3.371 million under Get Going, and 83 clubs were provided with grants totalling $6.76 million under Get Playing.

As we enter the second round of funding, I am urging eligible Queensland families and our sport and recreation clubs to apply for: • Get Started vouchers for children aged five to 17 (inclusive) to assist them

in joining a sport or recreation club • Get Going funding of up to $10,000 for items and activities to assist clubs

in attracting members • Get Playing funding of up to $100,000 for sport and recreation clubs to de-

velop facilities. Get Started opened for applications on 15 July 2013, and Get Going and Get Play-ing is open for applications until 15 October 2013. For more information on the pro-grams, including detailed fact sheets, visit our website www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/funding/getinthegame.

As the Minister for National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing, I am determined to get more Queensland kids active and give them access to sport and recreation opportunities wherever they live. This is the motivation behind our $47.8 million grassroots commitment, Get in the Game. Steve Dickson MP
