OUR SENIORS<br />
Regional Seniors<br />
Travel Card<br />
NSW News<br />
Applications opened on 18 January <strong>2021</strong><br />
The regional seniors travel card is<br />
pre-loaded with $250 for eligible<br />
seniors living in regional, rural, and<br />
remote NSW to spend on travelrelated<br />
expenses. It can be used to<br />
purchase Taxi services, pre-booked<br />
NSW TrainLink train and coach<br />
services, and fuel.<br />
The card is intended to reduce<br />
travel costs for eligible seniors living<br />
outside major cities who typically<br />
have longer distances to travel and<br />
fewer transport options.<br />
Eligible seniors have from 18 January<br />
to 30 November <strong>2021</strong> to apply for a<br />
regional seniors travel card. Seniors<br />
who have a 2020 card will need<br />
to apply to receive a card in <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Successful applicants should activate<br />
their cards within 45 days of receiving<br />
it. They have 14 months to use the<br />
card before it expires.<br />
To be eligible to receive the $250<br />
regional seniors travel card, you must<br />
be an age pensioner with a valid<br />
Pensioner Concession Card, or hold<br />
a Commonwealth Seniors Health<br />
Card or DVA Veteran Gold Card issued<br />
by either the Department of Human<br />
Services or Department of Veterans’<br />
Affairs. You must also permanently<br />
live in regional NSW - outside Sydney,<br />
Newcastle and Wollongong.<br />
If eligible, we encourage you to apply<br />
in a COVID-safe way by going to<br />
service.nsw.gov.au or calling 13 77<br />
88. You can also apply at a Service<br />
NSW Service Centre.<br />
