NSW Back to School Vouchers 2023

Back to School Vouchers is another exciting learning initiative to keep kids (and parents!) excited about all things school and learning. The NSW government is offering NSW families more vouchers to help equip children for another year in the classroom, branding them the NSW Government or Permier's Back to School Vouchers.

A hallmark of the COVID era, government vouchers have helped families during times of financial hardship with the likes of Creative Kids, Active Kids, Dine & Discover, First Lap Learn to Swim Vouchers, and of course, 2023’s batch of NSW Back to School Vouchers.

A total of $150 with three $50 vouchers per eligible child is up for grabs with the vouchers, and here's everything you need to know to make the most of them.

New school year, here we come!


Like its predecessors, the Back to School Vouchers will be available through the Service NSW app, and this round will come in the shape of three $50 vouchers, which can either be used separately or pooled together in one transaction.

The vouchers can be used towards the cost of school supplies (think: stationery, textbooks, bags, school uniforms, shoes, etc.) at registered businesses from 1 January until 30 June 2023.

The criterion for the vouchers is that your child is an NSW resident, enrolled in a government or non-government school or registered for homeschooling in 2023, and is listed on a valid Medicare card. Yep, it really is that simple!

Can One Family Apply for Multiple Vouchers?

Yes, NSW families can apply for three vouchers for each child in the family who attends a primary, secondary school or home-schooling in NSW in 2023. For example, if one family has four children attending primary, secondary school or home-schooling in 2023, then they will receive 12 vouchers in total.

Do the Vouchers Expire?

Yes, all three vouchers expire on 30 June 2023
