The Kids Future Fund will be introduced by the NSW Coalition government if it is re-elected at this month's state election.
There will be $400 initially deposited by the government, with parents or grandparents able to tip in $1000 annually which can be complemented by $400 from the government until the child turns 18.
Albury MP Justin Clancy said southern Riverina parents whose children were born in Victoria would not be snubbed.
