  • National travel assistance is available for those who have a high cost of transport due to distance for those needing frequent specialist medical or disability services.
  • Supergold card travel is free outside of peak times for those aged 65+.
  • Discount taxi vouchers reduce the cost of taxi travel due to permanent disability, including dementia (Seniorline, n.d.).
