Country Age Pension Fuel Card Scheme - Travel Assistance in Western Australia
The scheme supports country pensioners that do not have access to metropolitan levels of public transport and often must rely on their own means to travel to access essential services.
The Country Age Pension Fuel Card provides eligible pensioners with up to $575 a year towards the cost of fuel and/or taxi travel from participating providers to offer more support for the transport needs of eligible pensioners living in country areas.
From July 2024, the fuel card has been renamed the Regional Pensioner Travel Card and the value will increase to $675 per year. Pensioners already receiving the fuel card don't need to do anything to receive the new Regional Pensioner Travel Card. The 2024-25 travel card will be posted in July 2024.
