NSW Dine and Discover Vouchers

After an incredibly difficult year for the hospitality and cultural industries as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the New South Wales Government unveiled a statewide plan to motivate people to go out and help boost both sectors. The Dine and Discover program offer four $25 vouchers to all NSW residents over the age of 18 - 4 x $25 vouchers, worth $100 in total. Dine & Discover NSW vouchers are divided into two categories:

  • Dine NSW vouchers — 2 x $25 vouchers for dining in restaurants, cafes, bars, wineries, pubs and clubs.

  • Discover NSW vouchers — 2 x $25 vouchers for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, and arts venues.

Vouchers are valid until 30 June 2021.
