How to apply

You can apply for a Tasmanian Seniors Card over the counter at any Service Tasmania Shop.

Once the application form is completed, return it to a Customer Service Officer at Service Tasmania with three original pieces of identification from the list below, one must have your date of birth and one must provide proof of your Tasmanian address.

Australian Birth certificate (extract acceptable) or Australian Citizenship papers
Passport
Driver's licence or Firearms licence
Medicare Card
Credit card/debit card with your signature
Department of Veterans Affairs Card or Centrelink Aged Pension Card
Change of Name or Marriage Certificate (from Births, Deaths and Marriages) to prove any name change
Recent bank statement or utility account with current residential address

The Customer Service Officer will process your application and give you the approved form with the receipt and Seniors Card number imprinted on it. This is your temporary Seniors Card which can be used immediately, in Tasmania only.

Please allow up to 28 days for delivery of your permanent Seniors Card which can be used interstate as well as in Tasmania.

You can download and print a copy of our Card holder application from here. You will still need to take your completed application form along with your three pieces of evidence to any of the Service Tasmania Shops for processing.

For further information contact the Seniors Card Program at seniors@dpac.tas.gov.au or phone 1300 13 55 13.
