Rates Assistance
Pensioner Rate Assistance Scheme
Ratepayers will be eligible for a concession where:
- the Concession Card is or was a valid card during the financial year
- the ratepayer is liable for the account, ie. the account is in the name of the person paying the bill and seeking the concessions
- the card and the account are in the same name, and
- the card and the account represent the same address
The following cards are valid:
- Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) issued by Centrelink or Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) or
- DVA Gold Repatriation Health Card - Totally and Permanently Incapacitated (TPI) or
- DVA Gold Repatriation Health Card - War Widow (WW)
If you hold one of these cards there are two ways to obtain your concession:
- you may attend our offices in person and we will assist you to complete an Application form and have your Pension Card sighted, or
- you may ask us to send you an application form to complete and return to our office together with a photocopy of your Pension Card.
