Minister for Seniors and Ageing Don Punch is encouraging Western Australian Seniors Card members to ensure they are registered to receive the 2024 Cost of Living Rebate.
The annual Cost of Living Rebate is a State Government initiative offered to WA Seniors Card members to assist with cost-of-living pressures.
WA Seniors Card members must register by 31 May 2024 to receive this year’s payment, which will be made in late July. Previously registered members do not need to re-register unless their bank details or circumstances have changed. WA Seniors Card members who have not yet registered have received a reminder letter to apply.
Last year, singles received a payment of $104 and couples received $156. The Rebate was first launched in 2009 and has provided over $394 million in assistance to WA seniors.
In addition to the Cost of Living Rebate, the WA Seniors Card offers some of the most valuable State Government concessions and rebates in Australia, including free off-peak public transport, concessions on local government rates and water service charges, and the $400 Safety and Security rebate.
WA Seniors Card members can apply for the Cost of Living Rebate by registering for online access to their account or by downloading an application form, please visit the WA Seniors Card website athttps://www.seniorscard.wa.gov.au/forms-guides/
