Over A Thousand New Ways For Seniors To Save

St George seniors are the big winners as the Seniors Card program welcomes over 1,300 new businesses that have joined as part of a new business recruitment campaign.

The NSW Government is aiming to deliver more value for older people by increasing the number and geographic spread of businesses offering discounts to Seniors Card members.

Mr Mark Coure said the Government was committed to assisting older people with the cost of living and supporting them to stay active, healthy and socially connected.

“At the last election, we pledged to significantly increase the number of businesses in Seniors Card and I’m very pleased to say that we are delivering on that commitment,” Mr Coure said.

The business recruitment campaign has seen businesses ranging from lawyers and accountants to clothing stores, restaurants, fitness centres and electricians and plumbers join Seniors Card.

Members can get discounts of 10, 15, 25 and even 50 per cent off selected goods and services just by presenting their Card.

“This is another example of how the NSW Government is making Seniors Card even bigger and better,” Mr Coure said.

“There are almost 1.5 million Seniors Card members in NSW and we know they prefer to shop with businesses that accept the Card, so it’s a great boost for business and for the community.”

The business recruitment campaign will run until mid December and all NSW businesses are encouraged to join.
