Some people might be sitting on a sizeable benefit without even realising it.

A significant pool of unclaimed relief remains available, but time is running out to claim what may be owed.

Many are unaware that simple steps could unlock these funds.


Let’s face it: tolls can be a real pain in the wallet, especially for those of us who rely on our cars to get around.

To help ease the burden, the NSW Government introduced a $60 weekly toll cap in 2024.


This means eligible drivers can claim up to $340 a week in rebates—money that could make a real difference to your household budget.

Since the scheme’s launch, more than $139 million has already been paid out, with the lion’s share going to Western Sydney suburbs like Blacktown, Baulkham Hills, Marsden Park, and Bankstown.

These are areas where public transport isn’t always a practical option, so toll roads are often the only way to get from A to B.

Despite the success of the program, there’s still a staggering $130 million in toll relief sitting unclaimed.

This money has built up between 1 January 2024 and the end of March 2025, and if you don’t claim it, you could miss out.

Minister for Transport John Graham is urging motorists to act fast:

‘The $60 toll cap is a critical cost-of-living support, and I am pleased to see it has been laser-like in getting to where it is needed most. But we want to make sure every eligible driver gets the help they deserve.’

Claiming your rebate is easier than you might think. You can do it online through the Service NSW website, or if you prefer a friendly face, pop into your local Service NSW Centre.

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Jihad Dib says, ‘This initiative puts money back into people’s pockets at a time when we know families across the state are doing it tough.’
The deadline to claim toll relief for the 2024 calendar year is 30 June.

Claims for the second quarter will open on 9 July, and for the 2025 calendar year, rebates can be claimed until 30 June of the following year.

So far, only three Sydney suburbs—Blacktown, Baulkham Hills, and Auburn—have cracked the $2 million mark in toll rebates.



But plenty of other areas are catching up, with Merrylands, Marsden Park, Castle Hill, Quakers Hill, Lakemba, Kellyville, Bankstown, Greystanes, West Pennant Hills, and Punchbowl all receiving over $1 million each.

If you live in or near these suburbs, there’s a good chance you could be eligible for a rebate. Even if you’re not, it’s worth checking—every little bit helps!

We know that many of our Seniors Discount Club members are still on the road, whether it’s for work, family, or just enjoying retirement.
With the cost of living rising, every dollar counts. If you or someone you know regularly uses toll roads, don’t let this opportunity slip by.

If you’ve been spending over $60 a week on tolls, have a NSW toll account in your name, and are the registered owner of the vehicle, you might be eligible for a decent rebate.

It’s not every day the government offers to put money back in your pocket, so don’t let this chance pass you by.

Head to the Service NSW website or visit your local centre before June 30 to see if you’re eligible.
