For those of you who happen to live in regional, rural or remote NSW, the NSW government has just released the regional seniors travel card.
The scheme provides eligible seniors in regional, rural and remote areas with a $250 prepaid card to help ease the cost of travel. The card is designed to be used in relation to travel and will be accepted by certain retailers across Australia to pay for fuel, taxis and pre-booked NSW Trainlink Regional trains and coaches.
So, who is eligible? In order to qualify you need to meet the following criteria:
1. receiving the Age Pension (you must have received the Age Pension for at least one month).
2. or a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holder (you must have held your card for at least one month).
3. and living in a designated regional area of NSW outside of Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong
If you meet these criteria and are interested in applying, follow the link below which will allow you to apply for the card online. If you need any assistance, we are always here to help.
