NSW Seniors Card app connects seniors with special offers
Tech savvy seniors can now find the latest discounts and offers from more than 3500 stores nationwide with the release of the NSW Seniors Card app.
Launched earlier this week by the NSW Government’s Minister for Ageing John Ajaka, the free NSW Seniors Card app can be accessed on iPhone and iPads and Android smartphones and tablets.
The app can connect seniors to special deals and discounts in their area at retailers, with tradesman and other service providers.
It can also provide directions and a map to allow the user to easily find the location suggested by the app and even a street view of the store or business to make sure they’re in the right place.
There are a number of categories to choose from including automotive, household needs, professional services, shopping, holiday and travel and leisure and lifestyle.
“The directory and new app are part of the NSW Government’s ongoing commitment to improve the way it delivers information to more than one million members of the NSW Seniors Card program,” said Minister John Ajaka.
If seniors are unable to access the app on their phone they can call 13 77 88 to obtain a physical copy of the directory.
They can also access the list at www.seniorscard.nsw.gov.au.
The NSW Seniors Card app was developed as part of the Apps4NSW initiative that allows developers to create apps for the Department of Education and Communities and the Office of Environment and Heritage.
