The Australian Seniors Card is a card issued by various Australian State and Territory governments to permanent residents, over a particular age, who work no more than a set number of paid hours per week, or based on state or territory requirements.
[1] In New South Wales(NSW) for example, green Medicare card holders can apply online.
The purpose of the card is to identify seniors and to take advantage of discounts offered to senior citizens in the state or territory, with a number of commercial offers being made available to holders.
[3] While reciprocal acceptance of the card could be made across states in some cases, there is no guaranty or standard policy to do so.
It differs from a concession card in that it is available to senior citizens of the state or territory regardless of whether or not they receive an age pension.
