New rebate program for seniors starting in July

SENIORS could save hundreds of dollars a year through a range of existing rebates and new programs kick-starting from July.

More than 20 additional rebates and savings will go live as part of the Cost of Living program, which means there are now more than 70 rebates and cost of living measures available through Service NSW.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said: “We know the cost of living is a big issue facing seniors and households, which is why we are introducing the new Senior Savers Card from July.
“The introduction of the new card is a win for seniors and means no one misses out.”
Minister for Seniors, John Sidoti, said that for the first time, all NSW residents over the age of 60, would be eligible to receive discounts on products and services offered by more than 7,000 businesses through the NSW Seniors Card program.
“Seniors will be able to save hundreds of dollars at Service NSW’s one-stop Cost of Living service online or in person with a Service NSW expert,” he said.
“Booking an appointment on 13 77 88, is simple and easy and you could walk away with extra money.
“A couple who use Energy Switch, claim a vehicle rego concession, a Low Income Household Rebate and the pensioner water rebate, could save nearly $1,200.”
