The new Victorian Carer Card program is now open to unpaid carers in Victoria who provide home-based care to those with disabilities, chronic or mental illness, children needing foster care and the frail/aged.
A Victorian government initiative, the Carer Card program recognises the significant sacrifices and commitment that unpaid carers make every day. As such, the program provides a number of benefits to cardholders, including:
* discounts on a range of government and community venues, activities and services;
* free travel on public transport on Sundays and travel vouchers for two free return off-peak trips; and
* benefits and discounts secured through the participation of corporate sponsors.
The Carer Card program has more than 1,ooo participating businesses and partners whom offer a discount, deal or special offer for carers. *The website features a fully searchable directory that cardholders can use to search for offers in their local area.
* For more information about the program or to obtain an application form, visit www.carercard.vic.gov.au or call 1800 901 958.
