Service NSW Update: Used Car checks, NSW Vouchers Expire,Strata Annual Reports, Home Safety in Winter & Quad Bikes Safety

 

Hello John It’s now free and easy to get the true picture of a used car’s history before you make an offer. Simply check its most recent odometer readings via our Check a vehicle registration page. You can view up to the last three previous readings for free. If a car’s odometer reading is lower than it should be when compared to the previous readings, its odometer may have been tampered with. Remember current vouchers expire 30 June If you have any current Back to School NSW, Creative Kids, Active Kids or First Lap vouchers make sure to use them before they expire on 30 June. See what vouchers you have available in the Service NSW app or in your MyServiceNSW Account on the Service NSW website. Find providers where you can use your vouchers by visiting our Vouchers page.   New vouchers We're making changes to some of our voucher programs with new vouchers available from 1 July. The Active Kids voucher program will offer $50 towards sport and recreation activities school-enrolled children either want to try or are already into. These vouchers will expire 31 January 2024. The Creative Kids voucher program will provide a $50 voucher to use towards enrolling school-aged children in creative activities such as art, drama, dance, design, coding or music. These vouchers will expire 31 January 2024 and are available if the existing $100 Creative Kids voucher hasn’t already been used. A new Active and Creative Kids voucher program will start early 2024. The First Lap voucher program will contribute $50 towards swimming lessons for children aged 3 to 6 who aren't enrolled in school. These vouchers will expire 30 June 2024. For more information, view our media release. Strata annual reports due 30 June Are you on a strata committee or own a strata-titled duplex? In NSW, all strata schemes must submit their 2022 strata annual report by 30 June. Make sure you’ve submitted yours before the required time to avoid an overdue penalty. You can submit it online via the Strata Hub, or in person at a Service NSW Centre. Home safety tips for winter From heaters and electric blankets to heat packs and hot water bottles, many of the things we use to stay warm can also quickly become dangerous. Even keeping too much warm air inside can make mould a health issue. But you can keep your household cosy, safe and mould-free by following these tips from Product Safety Australia. Start your end of life plan with what’s important today Big life events – from marriages and new homes to the arrival of grandkids – can change your life completely. That’s why they’re also sensible times to make sure your end of life documents reflect your life as it is right now. To make this easier to do, we created The End of Life Planner tool. It can help you write or update your will, funeral wishes, organ donation instructions and more, so your loved ones are taken care of. Getting home safe is what matters most Quad bikes are a leading cause of death on Australian farms. In the past 10 years, over 180 families have lost a loved one in a quad bike incident. There are steps you can take to prevent quad bike incidents. Ride smart: insist on helmets, fit a roll bar, use active riding skills and never push a quad bike beyond its limits.
