Information Regarding the Issue of Concession Myki's to Disability Support Pensioners
TTA would like to advise they have made a change to the planned distribution of the free concession myki for Disability Support Pensioners and Carer Payment Recipients under 60.
The Transport Ticketing Authority (TTA) had previously advised that people on a Disability Support Pension and Carer Payment Recipients under 60 could apply for a Sunday Pass, which allows them to travel free on Victoria's public transport network on a Sunday. Once they had registered for the Sunday Pass, TTA had advised that a free concession myki would be sent in the mail.
TTA would like to advise they have made a change to the planned distribution of the free concession myki for Disability Support Pensioners and Carer Payment Recipients under 60.
The cards will be issued once myki is operating on metropolitan trains, trams and buses (myki is currently working on metropolitan trains and town bus services in Ballarat, Bendigo, Moe, Morwell, Seymour, Traralgon and Warragul).
Disability Support Pensioners and Carer Payment Recipients under 60 should continue to use their Metcard and V/Line tickets, including the Metcard Sunday Pass, until myki is fully operational in Melbourne.
If you or your members/clients (that receive the Disability Support Pension or the Carer's Payment) would like to register for the Sunday Pass and receive a concession myki in the mail, complete the application form as soon as possible and mail it to Sunday Pass,
PO Box 6422, St Kilda Central, Melbourne 8008.
Questions can be directed to Suzanne Stephenson, Manager Special Interest Groups, Transport Ticketing Authority via phone 9651 7569.
