Are you in receipt of an Age Pension or Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card?
If this is you, you may be eligible for a regional seniors travel card.
The regional seniors travel card provides eligible seniors living in regional, rural and remote areas of NSW with a $250 prepaid card to help ease the cost of travel. You can use the card at certain retailers to pay for pre-booked NSW Trainlink Regional trains and coaches, fuel and taxis.
The travel card is valid for 14 months from the date the card is issued. The expiry date is available on the front of the card.
Applications are now open and cards will be distributed from mid-February 2020.
The regional seniors travel card program is available for a 2-year trial period (2020-2021).
Eligibility
For the trial, you must be:
· receiving the Age Pension (you must have received the Age Pension for at least one month); or
· a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holder (you must have held your card for at least one month); and
· living in a designated regional area of NSW outside of Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong.
