The Queensland Government delivers concessions to Seniors Card holders on public transport, electricity and ambulance, motor vehicle and boat registration, fishing, dental, spectacles supply, medical aids, and electricity life support. This range of concessions is one of the most generous packages in Australia, valued at more than $30 million each year.
