If you’re a senior, you’ve paid your dues. You worked for years, you followed the rules, and now it’s time to collect some hard-earned discounts. And trust us, there are plenty of valuable discounts out there for you. The trick is, you have to know about them, and you have to ask for them.

Read on to ﬁnd a list of some of the biggest beneﬁts for Seniors Card holders.

YourLifeChoices How to Get the Most Out of Your Seniors Card 2 Tips to help you get the most out of your Seniors Card.

Always look at or ask for the standard retail price before asking for the discount or presenting your card. Have your Seniors Card number ready when making a booking or asking for a quote over the phone. Present your card before payment in retail stores, cafes and restaurants. Shop around and compare prices on big-ticket items. Just because you can get a discount somewhere doesn't mean it will be the best price around. Help to support the growth of the Seniors Card program by encouraging businesses in your local area to join. Always ask if the business offers a Seniors Card discount before purchasing. If you find out that a business does offer a Seniors Card discount but there is no promotional material, let them know they can order promotional material from the relevant Seniors Card website free of charge. This will encourage more seniors to shop there. Heading interstate? Take your Seniors Card. It’s well worth keeping your Seniors Card on you as most states and territories honour discounts for interstate cards. Travelling overseas? Pack your Seniors Card. Thanks to a reciprocal agreement with the New Zealand government, Australian state Seniors Card holders can access discounts from thousands of participating businesses through the ‘SuperGold Program. It can also be worth taking your Seniors Card if you travel to countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, USA and Canada, as many overseas businesses accept seniors cards if they offer discounted prices to their own seniors. Each state’s Seniors Cards is valid for your lifetime and does not need to be renewed. If your state Seniors Card is damaged, lost or stolen contact the state agency that issued your Seniors Card for a replacement.

YourLifeChoices How to Get the Most Out of Your Seniors Card 3 Save on health insurance

This comparison service is perfect for those looking for extra savings on their household budget. This is how they help you save.

The cost of health insurance rises every year, but not all insurers will increase their prices by the same amount. Each time prices rise, a new order of value for money health insurers is decided. That means if you’re not checking for a better deal every year, you could be paying more than you need to for the exact same service.

The problem for many older Aussies is they simply don't realise they could be paying less. With this service you can compare health funds in minutes and see what you could be saving

Click here to see what you could save

Last year people using Health Insurance Comparison saved an average of $380.79 on their yearly premiums*. To ﬁnd out what you could save, simply choose your current life stage below.

*Average savings based off 20,400 customers during 2019. A sponsored message from our friends at Health Insurance Comparison The Price Of Loyalty: Older Ausses Are Losing Hundreds By Staying Loyal To Health Insurers

Do you feel like you’re paying too much for your health insurance? If you’ve been paying more every year without being oﬀered any extra value, there’s a good chance you could be. While it’s no secret that the price of health insurance is going up around the country, there’s great value to be found if you know where to look.

Despite rising costs, too many older Aussies stay with the same fund and keep cover that’s inappropriate for their needs. This often happens because they aren’t aware that switching to better value cover can be quick, simple and done without any penalties.

That’s why Health Insurance Comparison is putting people before policies. They will listen to how you use your current cover, and ask what you would like to change. Whether that’s higher beneﬁts, more personalised cover or simply cheaper premiums, they get to work to ﬁnd a policy that meets your needs.

Not only do their customers get cover that they can see the value in, they’re also saving an average of $380.79*. On top of that, Health Insurance Comparison will arrange the whole switching process for you – from cancelling your current cover and retrieving prepaid premiums, to organising your new membership

Here’s How You Do It: Step 1: Select your age below. Step 2: Once you select your preferred coverage options, you will have the opportunity to compare quotes from multiple health funds.

Over 75 years 55-64 years 65-75 years under 55 years

YourLifeChoices - The Ultimate Seniors Card Discount Guide 5 When you compare with Health Insurance Comparison, they’ll identify the areas where you could be overpaying and where you could improve your rebates. Finding better value health insurance is equally about not paying for irrelevant cover, and getting more back when you use the cover you need.

For example, most people take out top hospital cover and simply accept that they’ll pay for pregnancy and IVF as a part of the policy. But some funds oﬀer speciﬁc top hospital policies for people who aren’t planning to have children, and these are a quick, cost-cutting win for savvy shoppers.

Extras cover is another area where you can save, here by moving to a policy that has bigger rebates for the services you use. This can come in the form of a higher yearly limit, or your insurer paying a greater beneﬁt for each individual visit.

With the help of the advisers at Health Insurance Comparison it’s never been easier to understand what you’re paying for and why. You can compare your current level of cover to similar policies and see exactly what you could be saving, all at no cost to you.

Here’s How You Do It: Step 1: Select your state below. Step 2: Once you select your preferred coverage options, you will have the opportunity to compare quotes from multiple health funds.

YourLifeChoices - The Ultimate Seniors Card Discount Guide 6 Get a free hearing check

Have you noticed that you or a loved one has been bumping up the TV volume lately? Or maybe missing important phone calls? Or struggling to follow conversations when out with friends?

More and more people are living with untreated hearing loss in Australia. In fact 50% of people over the age of 65 suffer from significant hearing loss. Yet only 1 in 5 people who could benefit from a hearing aid are actually using one. It can be a scary thing to admit and challenging to know where to start looking for help. Luckily, this new comparison service has been designed to get people like you in touch with an audiologist in your area for a free hearing check.

Hearing aids have come a long way in the past few years, the once cumbersome and awkward devices have had a transformation. There are many more options available today, from sleek and modern devices that sit snugly behind your ear, to those that ﬁt completely in your ear canal, making them invisible to others. To improve your hearing without any hassle, click on your age group below to book your free hearing test through Hearing Aid Comparison.

If you're a senior, this tip could save you hundreds oﬀ your next bill, whether you're a homeowner or a renter. Many of Australia's energy market regulators recommend that older Australian energy customers review their bills annually.

This is because, up until a few years ago energy providers were able to change rates without informing their customers. If you're a loyal customer, and you've been on the same plan for more than ﬁve years, you could be paying hundreds of dollars more than someone who has just signed up. With prices on the rise, older Aussies deserve the chance to ﬁnd a better deal. Why should you be paying more for the exact same thing, simply because you're not a market expert?

Hot tip: Use a comparison service that rewards senior switchers by giving them access to no-markup policies from energy providers across Australia. An energy comparison service makes it easy to ﬁnd the best deals in your area. This makes comparison shopping for energy easy and, best of all, it's totally cost and obligation-free.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Seniors Card programme?

The programme was introduced in 1992 to acknowledge and show appreciation for the contribution of older residents to the community. It aims to improve the lives of seniors by aiding them with business discounts and government concessions when they retire.

What is the Senior Savers programme?

The Senior Savers card was introduced much later (July 2019), for over 60s that are not yet eligible for a Seniors Card as they are working more than 20 hours per week. Holders of the Senior Savers card get access to the same business discounts but are not yet eligible for certain government concessions or discounts on public transport.

YourLifeChoices How to Get the Most Out of Your Seniors Card 27 Do I need both cards?

No, you will either be entitled to the Seniors Card or the Senior Savers card, having both cards has no extra beneﬁt.

Where can I ﬁnd out about available discounts?

Thousands of businesses have signed up to oﬀer discounts. Click here to see what you can save and where.

Also, look out for the 'Seniors Card Welcome Here' logo or ask for Seniors Card discounts when you're out and about.

What should I do if I have lost my Seniors card?

If your NSW Seniors Card or NSW Senior Savers Card has been lost, stolen or destroyed and you need to replace it, you can do this online.

Click 'Replace Online' here: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/replace-lost-stolen-or-destroyed- nsw-seniors-card-or-nsw-senior-savers-card

You will need to enter your details. You will also be asked for your Seniors Card or Senior Savers Card number, but you can still order a replacement if you don't have this number.

How do I change my personal details?

If you have moved or if your registered details have changed, you can update them online or by calling 13 77 88.

Can I use my card interstate or overseas?

Holders of both the NSW Seniors Card and the NSW Senior Savers card have access to discounts and special oﬀers on goods and services from some businesses involved in the New Zealand SuperGold Program. (This does not include transport concessions).

YourLifeChoices How to Get the Most Out of Your Seniors Card 28 Look for the "SuperGold Cards Welcome" stickers when travelling in New Zealand, and ask if they also accept the NSW Seniors Card or Senior Savers Card. If a business does not oﬀer discounts for Australian seniors, this will be noted on their website under 'exclusions'.

I am visiting from interstate or overseas. Can I use my card in NSW?

Where can I ﬁnd more information?

Visit the NSW Seniors Card website.

What government concessions am I eligible for?

If you hold a New South Wales Seniors Card, you may also be eligible to access some NSW Government Concessions.

Some of these include:

The NSW Spectacles Program - some people who may be at risk of a preventable decline in their eye health may be eligible for glasses and visual aids. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-nsw-spectacles-program Pensioner water rebate - If you receive a pension, you may qualify for a rebate on your water bill. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/pensioner-water-rebate Patients and carers may be eligible for concession rates on parking at NSW public hospitals. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/concession-car-parking-nsw- public-hospitals

Frequently asked questions

What is the Seniors Card programme?

The programme was introduced in 1991 to acknowledge and show appreciation for the contribution of older residents to the community. It aims to improve the lives of seniors by aiding them with business discounts and government concessions when they retire.

Do I need both cards?

No, you will either be entitled to the Seniors Card or the Seniors Business Discount Card, having both cards has no extra beneﬁt.

YourLifeChoices How to Get the Most Out of Your Seniors Card 148 What is the Seniors Business Discount Card programme?

The Seniors Business Discount Card was introduced later, for over 60s that are not yet eligible for a Seniors Card as they are working more than 35 hours per week. Holders of this card get access to the same business discounts but are not yet eligible for certain government concessions or discounts on public transport.

Where can I ﬁnd out about the discounts available?
