What concessions are you entitled to?

Concessions and discounts can vary according to State or business location. Some entitlements or concessions are linked to your DVA card type and also embossing ie DVA Gold Card and DVA Gold Card TPI embossed. Often the government concessions are linked to your residential state, especially transport concessions. Select your location and DVA card type and the type of concession i.e. utilities to see relevant and further information on ho to claim the concession or entitlement.

The list is endless and will continue to grow as we find more concessions. We seek your help on finding new ones from maybe a local cinema, sporting venue or the like. Give us feedback and we will validate and upload for all Veterans to take advantage of.

Are you aware of an entitlement or concession that isn’t shown? Let us know.
