South Australian Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well, Nat Cook, described the fraudulent website as ‘deceptive’
“These fraudulent websites are not only deceptive but they also heartlessly target some of the most vulnerable members of our community,” she said.
“The South Australian Seniors Card is always free of charge and you will never be asked to disclose your financial details when applying for a Seniors Card.
“[…] If someone is asking for payment, it’s a scam.
The illegal website — called the Senior Assistant — claims to provide application packages and consultation services for older Australians who apply for a Seniors Card in South Australia, Queensland and Victoria. However, Seniors Cards across Australia are free.
Eligibility criteria for the Seniors Card vary slightly between Australian states and territories.
