It’s a common misconception that older Australians are only eligible for concession cards if they are on the Age Pension. Not only are self-funded retirees eligible for certain cards, but some concessions may be available even if you’re not yet retired.
There are a range of concession cards that Australian seniors and pensioners may be eligible for. Depending on the card, you may be entitled to cheaper medicines and discounts on services such as public transport, council rates and power bills.
Seniors Card
Who is eligible?
You’re generally eligible to apply for a Seniors Card from your state or territory government once you turn 60 (or 65 in some instances) and are no longer working full time.
