2020 Seniors Card Discount Directory

10 ABOUT THE SA SENIORS CARD The Seniors Card program is part of the Office for Ageing Well, which focuses on the Government’s priority to support older South Australians to age well. The Seniors Card program has been an important part of this office since 1993 and directly assists its members to stay active and connected to their community. It does this by celebrating the contribution of older people through the incentives, special offers and discounts provided by hundreds of businesses across the state, as well as delivering information on a diverse range of topics. The Seniors Card is recognised interstate and in New Zealand, so take it with you whenever you leave home. Use this directory, either online or hardcopy, to find businesses that offer a discount to Seniors Card members. Businesses choose to participate in the Seniors Card program to support seniors and are not reimbursed by the Government.
