- Age Pensioner Concession Card
- Disability Support Pensioner Concession Card
- Other eligible income‑tested pension cards
These cards are assessed based on income and eligibility criteria set by government authorities. For more information about pension cards please visit the Services Australia website.
What proof is required?
When purchasing or renewing a concession membership, you’ll need to provide:
- A current, valid Pension Card, and
- Photo ID if requested.
The card must be valid at the time of purchase and in the member’s name.
Important things to know
- Health Care Cards cannot be used to access concession pricing.
- Concession discounts cannot be applied retrospectively.
- Concession memberships are for the cardholder only and are not transferable.
