Active Kids Provider RegistrationSLSNSW has provided details of all NSW surf clubs to the Office of Sport (OOS) which means individual surf clubs do not need to register as providers within the program, this has already been completed for you! Each surf club should by now have received an email directly from Office of Sport asking them to log in and confirm their most appropriate contact details at their club for this program. Please note this email would have been sent to the contact on file which in most cases was the Secretary or Administration Club Member. If you can’t find the email, you will still be able to activate the business account for your club via ServicesNSW. To do this either follow the links from the email or visit www.service.nsw.gov.au. Once that is completed parents will have the ability to transact the Active Kids program vouchers against the account. If you have any problems activating your club’s account, please call 13 77 88 (Service NSW Active Kids call centre), and the helpful staff from the OOS will be able to walk you through the activation steps. Thanks to the dozen clubs that have already activated their accounts! Once your club is activated you can download official Office of Sport logos that illustrate the status of an Approved Provider under the program. To access the Approved Provider logo and a variety of materials for the promotion of Active Kids, please click here. If you’re creating your own material using the assets we’ve supplied, please send a copy of your creative to branding@sport.nsw.gov.au.
