WA families are getting an amazing new way to enjoy our State’s arts and culture scene – without blowing the budget.
The WA Government’s Kids Access All Areas Vouchers program gives eligible children a $50 voucher to spend on live events and cultural experiences across more than 100 venues statewide. It’s designed to help with cost of living pressures, while encouraging kids to experience theatre, music, museums, festivals and more.
What is the Kids Access All Areas Vouchers program?
Kids Access All Areas is a State Government scheme that helps West Aussie kids aged 5 to 15 attend:
- Live music gigs
- Theatre shows and plays
- Dance performances
- Festivals and cultural events
- Museums, galleries and other arts experiences
Each eligible child can receive a $50 voucher that can be used towards tickets at approved venues and providers across Western Australia.
Families can reserve up to four vouchers per household via the ServiceWA app.
Vouchers are available on a first come, first served basis, so it’s worth jumping on quickly.
More information about the program is available at the official site:
