Digital card

If you wish, you can get a digital Seniors/Senior Savers Card through the Service NSW app.

The digital card does not replace your current physical card. You can choose which version suits you best, and participating businesses will recognise both when shown.

If you're a new card applicant, you'll still receive a physical card – you can use both your digital and physical card at participating businesses.

For more information, refer to Get a digital NSW Seniors Card or NSW Senior Savers Card.

Using your card

Interstate usage

Each Australian state and territory has their own Seniors Card scheme and some reciprocal arrangements are in place for using your NSW Seniors Card. Businesses in one state will generally recognise cards from another, however, it is best to ask the business if it provides a discount for the NSW Senior Savers Card holders before making a purchase.

To find out more about participating businesses and available discounts in other states, you will need to contact the relevant interstate Seniors Card office:

Accessing transport concessions

NSW Government concessions, such as the Gold Opal Card, are reserved for those who are largely or fully retired. You can convert to a Seniors Card and get access to transport concessions as soon as you retire completely or your working hours are reduced to 20 hours or less (on average across a 12 month period).
