e-Card funding round – March 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026

27 Feb 2026

We’re delighted to let you know that the Cerebral Society Board has approved $200 getProgramme funding per member for the period from March 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026.  

The current e-Card funding round ends on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Any funds remaining on your e-Card will expire and be removed at midnight.

As March 1 (the first day of the new round) is a Sunday, the process to top up funds will begin on Monday, March 2. 
This means there will be NO access to e-Card funding on Sunday, March 1. Please plan accordingly.

To receive the next round of funding a member must:
– Have a current/paid membership plan
– Have an e-Card.

Automatic top ups (for those who received funding in the November 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026 round) will begin from March 2. You do not need to contact us. You will receive a text or email confirmation once your top up has been completed. 

Anyone who did not receive funding in the November 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026 round, will not qualify for an automatic top up and will need to contact the Society from March 2 to request their e-Card is topped up.
– Go to our website and log in to the dashboard – click ‘apply for a programme’ and fill in the form
– Email cpsociety@cpsociety.org.nz 
– Phone 0800 503 603.

Please be patient while we process the requests for e-Card top ups. We will be busy with calls, emails and forms to process and it may take a while to get through them all. We apologise in advance for any delays you experience.

Once the new funding round has been loaded to your e-Card, funds will expire at midnight on June 30, 2026.  
Funds can only be redeemed at one of our onboarded suppliers and must be redeemed before the expiry date.
Please do not throw your card away. The funds expire, not the card itself.

If you have a preferred supplier that is not already accepting the Cerebral Palsy Society’s e-Card, and meets the criteria of getPhysical, getOutThere, getThis&That or GetUpAgain, please go to www.cerebralpalsy.org.nz/member-services/e-card-funding/get-suppliers for information about the onboarding process.

Please note, onboarding can take approximately four weeks, and you will not be able to use your e-Card with a company/service provider until the onboard process is complete.  
Details of our current suppliers are available on our website:

The getProgrammes   
You can use the $200 funding on the following getProgrammes:   

getOutThere   
Designed to get people with Cerebral Palsy engaging with their community, getOutThere helps fund part of the transport company’s fare.   

getPhysical   
The aim of the getPhysical programme is to enable members to maintain, or improve, their physical ability and fitness.   

getThis&That   
This programme allows members with Cerebral Palsy to purchase small items that help manage the effects of living with Cerebral Palsy.   

getUpAgain   
Every now and then, things in life can get us down – but we have to get up again! This programme helps give access to, and finance, three to six counselling sessions.   

To check the balance on your e-Card using the portal, please go to https://ecardsolutions.nz/portal/cps/
You will need the membership number on the front of your card and the 4-digit access code on the back of your card.
