New South Wales residents aged 18 and above can now redeem their $50 worth of Stay NSW Voucher to support the local accommodation industry.

Only one voucher will be given to each person. Unlike Dine and Discover vouchers, Stay NSW vouchers can be pooled with friends and family to reach their target amount. It also has no redemption limit.

To manage demand, local government areas (LGAs) have to roll out vouchers’ release in a staggered approach. This means only selected residents can apply for now. All eligible recipients can expect to receive their vouchers by early March 2022.

Before proceeding with the application process, check first if the Stay NSW vouchers are available in your LGA.
