The countdown to Christmas is on and the gifts are rolling in for Seniors Card holders with fresh discounts on electricity, home and hardware, groceries, internet and more.
Acting Minister for Seniors Geoff Lee said keeping cool and connected will be at the top of the wish list for many people this Christmas.
"Many seniors are spending more time at home this year to protect their physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic," Mr Lee said.
"Seniors have shown incredible resilience in a difficult year while still supporting their families and communities so it's great to be able to team up with our Seniors Card partners to offer these super savings."
Simply Energy is offering NSW Seniors Card holders 21% discount on electricity and 11% off their gas bills.
Aussie Broadband and Pennytel have lined-up some terrific dollar dazzlers on NBN and mobile phone plans.
"Gas and electricity discounts really help cut the cost of using home cooling systems and will keep heating bills down next winter as well. Mobile and internet savings help unite people online and on the phone during this festive period," Mr Lee said.
"Cost of living can be a challenge for older people and we want our 1.7 million NSW Seniors Card holders to get the best possible benefits with discounts and special offers from over 7000 businesses across NSW."
Member for Oatley Mark Coure joined Mr Lee at Mitre 10 Peakhurst and said seniors can grab a five percent discount on gift cards across all Mitre 10 stores in NSW.
"Seniors are so important to our State and this discount gets them a deal on everything from home and garden to timber and hardware so older people can stay active while getting outside to create happier, safer living spaces," Mr Coure said.
"Projects bring people together whether it's a chat in the shed over construction or while enjoying green space in the garden. This interaction is so important."
