- New fuel discount partnership between State Government and United Petroleum to offer cost of living relief to Western Australian seniors
- Discount will save WA Seniors Card members four cents a litre off price of fuel, estimated to save seniors around $70 a year
- Cook Government committed to reducing the cost of living for older Western Australians
Seniors and Ageing Minister Don Punch has announced a new fuel discount partnership offering cost of living relief for Western Australian seniors filling up at the bowser.
Under a major discount partnership with United Petroleum, WA Seniors Card holders can register online for the United app or plastic United fuel discount card to save four cents a litre off the price of fuel at United service stations across the country.
It is estimated that members who redeem this discount can save up to $70 a year. There are 34 United Petroleum fuel outlets in Western Australia, including 11 in regional areas, and more than 400 around Australia.
The discount partnership reinforces the Cook Government's commitment to reducing the cost of living for seniors.
The initiative complements other cost of living measures like the Regional Pensioner Travel Card, which has already seen more than 55,000 regional pensioners benefit from the increased travel support of $675 per annum towards the cost of fuel or taxi travel.
In addition, WA Seniors Card members continue to have access to a valuable range of State Government concessions and rebates, including on public transport, water rates and local government rates.
WA Seniors Card members are also eligible for the exclusive $400 Safety and Security Rebate, which has seen more than 30,000 WA seniors claim on eligible home security, electrical or fire safety items.
The Cost of Living Rebate has also seen more than $28 million in direct financial assistance paid to registered card holders this financial year.
