Holders of Health Care Cards (and similar Centrelink cards) are entitled to receive a number of different types of concessions. These can include discounts on living costs, including certain winter gas and electricity bills, cost limits for certain prescriptions and concession travel on public transport. Centrelink can provide you with the leaflets produced by both the Victorian and Commonwealth governments that outline the concessions offered to cardholders. It is worth getting hold of these leaflets to ensure that you are making full use of your Centrelink card. It is also important to keep this card up to date, as a concession may be refused if the card has expired. Centrelink also provides some working people with a Health Care Card because they are on a low income or were out of work for a while before getting their current job.
