WAYS
TO SAVE MONEY
KNOW YOUR ENTITLEMENTS
Pensioner Concession Cards
These entitle the holder to pensioner discounts
available in many businesses and also on government bills including
Rates, Car Registration on one car, Electricity, rail travel within
Qld, Government approved medical prescriptions at pharmacies and
more. Ask if a pensioner discount is available.
Low Income Health Care Cards
For those eligible through Centrelink who are not

approved prescriptions at pharmaces.
Seniors Cards and Seniors Business Cards
Seniors business cards are for those over 60 and
Seniors Cards are for those over 65. Seniors Cards offer more benefits
than Seniors Business Cards. You just need to ask at businesses
if they offer Seniors Discounts.
Here are some local seniors discounts I
know of
Drakes and IGA Supermarkets- On Wednesdays on spending
more than $30, a discount of five percent on the total of your purchases
applies. If you have purchased petrol in the past fortnight and
