In addition to year-round travel concessions, more than 4000 discounts to tourist attractions, sports and cultural centres around the state have been added to the Victorian Carer Card.
Carers can now get half-price travel year-round by showing their Victorian Carer Card at any staffed railway station to obtain a Victorian Carers myki card - and they’ll receive their first one free.
For the first time, card holders will also receive the same discounts which are available on the Victorian Seniors Card.
With more than 4000 participating businesses – carers can get free or discounted entry to attractions like Werribee Zoo, Melbourne Aquarium, Melbourne Star Observation Wheel and MCG tours.
“We acknowledge the hard work of these carers in Northern Victoria and they deserve our thanks and support, which is why we’ve invested almost $50 million for extra respite, transport concessions and grants for local carer groups,” Member for Northern Victoria Mark Gepp said.
