The Victoria Carer Card - Is your facility registerd?

Carer Card

What is the Victorian Carer Card?

The intent of the Victorian Carer Card is to provide both a symbolic and financial recognition of the value of carers to our society.

The Carer Card will:

  • Recognise and reward the unpaid role provided by many carers of people with disabilities, mental illness, the frail/aged and foster children, particularly carers less than 60 years of age and foster carers; and
  • Recognise that often the responsibilities of carers prevent them from participating in the paid workforce and can make them more vulnerable to social isolation and reduced social activity.
  • Specific government commitments have been made regarding the benefits the Carer Card will provide. These benefits have been defined as:
  • 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
  • Benefits and discounts secured through the participation of corporate sponsors.
  • Carers may learn more about the program on the Information for Carers page. Alternatively, businesses interested in learning more may visit the Information for Businesses section.
