KidSport enables eligible Western Australian children aged 5 to 18 years to participate in community sport by offering them financial assistance of up to $300 towards club fees, and in some cases essential uniforms and equipment.

Note: Please check the KidSport information and hyperlinks on your website are correct and up to date. On 1 July 2025, the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) became Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) so old links will now be invalid.
