More than 307,000 seniors in Western Australia are set to share in almost $30 million in cost-of-living rebate payments. The payments are part of the Cook government’s cost-of-living rebate scheme, launched in 2009. The scheme is paid to WA Seniors Card members annually and has provided more than $421 million in assistance since its inception. Single pensioners will receive $107.12, while couples on the pension will receive $160.68.
“The WA Seniors Card Cost of Living Rebate provides vital funds directly to seniors,” Seniors and Ageing Minister Don Punch said. He encouraged seniors to pick up their copy of the 2024-2025 Discount Directory, which lists the full range of discounts they can claim. The directory is available to members at selected libraries, Community Resource Centres or from the offices of local members of Parliament.
