All you need to know about accessing a Seniors Card

With a Seniors Card you can save money on everyday essentials like bills and services, as well as the fun stuff such as entertainment and travel. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee discounted gelati in your area. But the biggest perk of all is that Seniors Cards are free of charge.

Eligibility

You could easily be mistaken for thinking Seniors Cards are just for retirees, but even if you haven’t officially hung up your work boots, it’s worth checking to see if you're eligible.

Eligibility requirements vary by state/territory but generally, you must be over 60 years of age (64 in WA) and not working more than a specific number of hours. So depending on where you live, you can often be undertaking some paid work and still receive a Seniors Card.

Discounts and offers

Each state/territory offers hundreds, even thousands of discounts and special offers for Seniors Card holders. Many states/territories also have reciprocal agreements so you can receive your seniors discount wherever you are.

Some of the special offers available with your Seniors Card include:

• Cheaper car rental for your next weekend away or holiday
• Concession prices and sometimes even free travel on public transport
• Discounted tickets to museums and attractions around the country
• Discounted e-gift cards for shopping and groceries
• Discounts and special offers at local restaurants, cafes and takeaway.

Please note, these discounts are general in nature and may not apply in your state/territory.

It’s a good idea to regularly check your state’s/territory’s website for the most current deals and special offers. While many discounts are offered year-round some states also offer special limited time deals that are worth taking advantage of.
