How much do you know about the WA Seniors Card at the back of your Transperth SmartRider?
The WA Seniors Card is more than just a card. It is a State Government initiative designed to support older Western Australians with practical savings and recognition for the contribution they make to our community.
Available at no cost to eligible seniors, the WA Seniors Card (through the Department of Communities) provides access to discounts across Western Australia, helping ease the cost of everyday expenses. These include savings on groceries, dining, trades, professional services, travel, entertainment and lifestyle activities through local businesses that value and support seniors. View the full online discount directory.
In addition to the discounts, members receive access to the most generous range of State Government funded concessions in Australia. This includes free off-peak public transport, concessions on water service charges, local government rates and much more. View the guide on the Seniors Safety and Security Rebate.
Members can also register to receive the Seniors Cost of Living Rebate, an annual payment made in late July each year to help with rising costs. For the 2025 Seniors Cost of Living Rebate payment, singles received $110.07 and couples received $165.10.
Another benefit of being a WA Seniors Card member is access to the Seniors Safety and Security Rebate, which assists members in keeping their homes safe and secure. View the guide on the Seniors Safety and Security Rebate.
Members can claim up to $400 after purchasing eligible safety or security items for their home, such as deadlocks, home alarm systems, security doors and mains-powered fire alarms (terms and conditions apply).
Beyond financial benefits, the WA Seniors Card keeps members informed and connected through activities such as member updates, competitions and community stories, ensuring seniors are not just saving money, but staying engaged.
For many, the WA Seniors Card represents recognition and practical support, helping seniors live well, stay connected and feel valued.
