ACT Seniors Card
We're aware there is a current data issue which is preventing ACT Seniors Card holders from applying for an Opal concession card. Our teams are working to rectify the issue.
People aged 60 years and older can apply for an ACT Seniors Card if they are also:
- permanent residents currently living in the ACT
- not in paid employment for more than 20 hours per week.
The ACT Seniors Card is part of an Australia-wide scheme.
For more information visit the ACT Seniors Card website.

MyWay+ changes to public transport
MyWay+ is a new ticketing system that has replaced MyWay.
You can no longer use your combined ACT Seniors Card/MyWay card to tap on and off public transport.
You do not need to order a new ACT Seniors Card. You can still use your existing card to access your other benefits.
For information about the changes and your options, visit Seniors - Transport Canberra.
