How does the ACT Seniors Card bring you more customers?
It’s simple. Your business offers Seniors Card holders an exclusive incentive if they shop with you. The business is publicised through our ACT Seniors Card Directory, it is also promoted at many high profile events held throughout the year in the ACT. Seniors can also recognise your business as offering a special incentive through a Seniors Card sticker which can be adhered to a shop window or vehicle and/or a counter stand. Business information is also given to cardholder inquiries by Seniors Card Hotline staff.
What is an ACT Seniors Card?
The ACT Seniors Card is part of an Australian wide initiative jointly supported by the ACT Government and Council on the Ageing (ACT).
The Scheme recognises the valuable contribution of older people in their local community.
Each state and territory has a Seniors Card scheme and some reciprocal arrangements are in place for using your card in other states & the Northern Territory.
The ACT Seniors Card is issued free and provides access to savings on a range of goods and services provided by participating businesses.
A combination of Government & Non government businesses make up the many participating organisations that provide a number of benefits and discounts on a wide range of goods and services.
