According to Service NSW, more than 32 million vouchers had been issued at a value of $812.5 million, yet only 19 million ($470.9 million) had been redeemed.
Kiama MP Gareth Ward is urging residents to use their vouchers over the coming week.
"My message to the community is simple - don't miss out," he said.
"Check to see if you have any vouchers remaining and spend them now.
"Whether you're going to a restaurant with friends, checking out a new movie or taking the kids to a museum, there is money to be saved."
The vouchers are split into two categories:
- Dining - valid for restaurants, cafes, bars, wineries, pubs or clubs.
- Discover - valid for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, arts venues, and cinemas, along with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities.
NSW residents aged 18 and over can apply for 6 x $25 vouchers, worth $150 in total.
- 3 x $25 Dine NSW Vouchers to be used for dining in at restaurants, cafés, bars, wineries, pubs and clubs or for takeaway meals.
- 3 x $25 Discover NSW Vouchers to be used for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, and arts venues.
- Vouchers can be accessed through the Service NSW app or printed out to be redeemed manually at participating businesses.

Two additional programs - Stay NSW vouchers ($50 per person) and Parents NSW vouchers (five times $50 vouchers per household), have until October 9 to be used.
