Discount partnership offers cost of living relief for older Aussies
- Replies 30
Navigating the rising cost of living can be challenging, especially for seniors.
But there's good news for seniors looking to stretch their dollars further.
The State Government has teamed up with United Petroleum to offer a fuel discount that promises to ease the financial burden at the petrol pump.
This new initiative is a breath of fresh air for Western Australian Seniors Card members, who can now register online for the United app or obtain a plastic United fuel discount card.
By doing so, they'll be able to shave four cents off every litre of fuel purchased at United service stations across the country.
It's estimated that members who take advantage of this discount could pocket up to $70 a year. With 34 United Petroleum fuel outlets in Western Australia, including 11 in regional areas, and over 400 around Australia, the discount is both accessible and substantial.
This partnership is a testament to the Cook Government's dedication to supporting older Western Australians by making everyday expenses more manageable.
This commitment extends beyond the fuel discount, as the government has introduced several other cost-of-living measures.
One such measure is the Regional Pensioner Travel Card, which has already provided over 55,000 regional pensioners with $675 per annum to help cover the costs of fuel or taxi travel.
This initiative is particularly beneficial for those living in areas where public transport options are limited, ensuring that mobility and independence are maintained.
Moreover, WA Seniors Card members can tap into a range of State Government concessions and rebates.
These include discounts on public transport, water rates, and local government rates, which can cumulatively lead to substantial savings over time.
The exclusive $400 Safety and Security Rebate is another perk for WA seniors, allowing them to claim back expenses on eligible home security, electrical, or fire safety items.
Over 30,000 WA seniors have already benefited from this initiative, enhancing their home safety without straining their wallets.
Additionally, the Cost of Living Rebate has distributed more than $28 million in direct financial assistance to registered cardholders this financial year.
