Seniors & Pensioners Information Kit
The last couple of years living through the Covid‐19 pandemic have been tough for our community. The restrictions on movement to limit the spread of the virus has meant missing out on important social, family and community gatherings, and it has been an isolating time for many older Australians.
In this kit you will find important up to date information relating to:
Government services and support, including pension payment rates;
Concession Cards, Medicare, and Health;
Carers and Carers Allowance; and
Contacts for community support services.
State-Specific Resources for Victorian Seniors
The kit is free to read online. To request a physical copy of the kit, please get in touch with my office.
