Frequently Asked Questions
 
What is a Seniors Card?

The NSW State Government introduced the Seniors Card scheme in 1992 to encourage older people to enjoy an active and healthy retirement. The scheme is free to join, is not assets-tested and you are not required to disclose your income. To qualify, you must be a New South Wales permanent resident, aged 60 or over and work no more than 20 hours a week.

How To Apply for Seniors Card

A Seniors Card Application Form must be completed when applying for the Seniors Card. To be eligible, you must be a New South Wales permanent resident, aged 60 or over and work no more than 20 hours a week in paid employment.

The form must be witnessed by a Justice of the Peace to verify that you meet membership criteria.

Please note that as of 8 December 2006, it became a statutory requirement that all existing JPs be reappointed and assigned a new registration number.  This new registration number must be included on all new member application forms.
