Once we reach the age of 61, we can apply to get a [b]WA Seniors Card[/b]. In some cases, this will give seniors a discount on utility bills, so it is worth checking, as some of the discounts are quite substantial. Discounts may apply to:

  • Council rates
  • Water rates
  • Electricity
  • Vehicle License
  • Drivers license
  • Free off-peak travel
  • Regional transport
