A message from the Premier
Welcome to the 2013 NSW Seniors Directory.
2013 is a landmark year for the NSW Seniors Card
as it celebrates its 21st birthday.
Introduced by the NSW Government in 1992, the
NSW Seniors Card program sought to encourage
a happy and active retirement for older members of
the community. As a program that’s been increasingly
popular amongst seniors, it now forms a vital platform
within the NSW Ageing Strategy, which embraces a
vision for a healthy, vibrant, active ageing population.
With a membership base in excess of a million card
holders, the number of seniors joining the program
continues to grow. This means more businesses want to be part of the picture, giving seniors
more choice and better value options. In 2013 the Seniors Card program has more than
2000 NSW participating businesses.
All Australian State and Territories now have a Seniors Card program. Many interstate businesses
that partner with the program also accept other state’s Seniors Cards. A reciprocal agreement
also exists with New Zealand, where many of the participating businesses in the NZ SuperGold
Card program also accept Seniors Card.
As NSW Seniors Card Program turns 21, I hope you celebrate by using the 2013 Seniors Directory
to get maximum value out of your Seniors Card.
