Seniors living in the region now have access to more businesses and service providers via the NSW Seniors Card.
Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said more than 140 new businesses have joined over 6,500 who have already joined the Seniors Card program, which will help ease the cost-of-living pressures on seniors while providing a boost to many small businesses.
“This is one of several NSW Government initiatives to help seniors with the cost-of-living pressures including energy rebates to take some pressure off the household budget and keep more money in their back pocket,” Ms Cooke said.
“The Seniors Card for over-60s has thousands of discounts covering groceries, tradies, holidays, insurance and services such as accountants and medical care. Businesses signing up to the program get more people through the door so it’s a win-win.
“It’s fantastic to see Gundagai Neighbourhood Centre and Label A Clothing at Young join the program and I encourage more businesses to sign up and open their door to more than 1.9 million seniors across NSW.”
Among the other new businesses joining the program are dental surgeries, pubs and hotels, health and wellness centres and home cleaning service providers.
Seniors also have access to the digital version of the NSW Seniors Card, with more than 120,000 people taking up the digital option since its launch in April.
