New Zealand SuperGold Card holders and Australian Seniors Card holders are now able to use their commercial discounts in both countries thanks to a reciprocal agreement.
Around 100,000 New Zealand seniors head to Australia each year, and 70,000 Australian seniors come here. This initiative will help their tourist dollars go further in both countries.
Discounts offered by the scheme will be met by the businesses involved, and they must opt-in to the agreement. The agreement does not include initiatives funded by the Government, such as the free off-peak travel subsidy in New Zealand. The Ministry of Social Development will be encouraging businesses to enter the scheme over the next few months.
