NSW Seniors Card Discount Directory

NSW Minister for Ageing, Kristina Keneally, has launched the 2008 NSW Seniors Card Discount Directory which includes more than 7,200 special deals and discounts for members.

“The NSW Seniors Card program provides an opportunity for the NSW Government to thank seniors for the contribution they have made through working, raising families, and serving their communities,” Ms Keneally said.

“With nearly 20% of the State’s population aged over 60, it is a very practical way of helping all 1.1 million Seniors Card members get the most out of their retirement.”

The directory contains NSW Government concessions on transport, entry to national parks museums and zoos. It also contains special offers on food and beverages, holidays and travel, entertainment, insurance, and other services.

Now in its 15th year, the directory includes more than 7,200 offers from businesses throughout the state, which is an increase of 15% on last year.

“As well as rewarding seniors in the community with discounts, it also puts businesses in contact with the fastest growing consumer market in Australia,” Ms Keneally said.

“According to research, 75% of members use their Seniors Card each week to access discounts and special offers.

The Discount Directory is broken down into five regions:
. Sydney and Surrounds
. Central Coast and Hunter
. Northern NSW
. Southern NSW
. Western NSW

Seniors Card members can expect to receive their free copy of the Discount Directory for their region in the mail throughout November.
