Country pensioners do not have access to metropolitan levels of public transport and often have to 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.
The Country Age Pension Fuel Card Scheme is funded by the State Government’s Royalties for Regions program and administered by the Department of Transport.
