Pensioner and senior registration concessions

Queensland Transport is making travel easier for Queenslanders by offering pensioners and seniors concessions on their motor vehicle registration fees.

If you hold one of the following cards, you may be eligible for a 50 per cent reduction of your vehicles registration fee:

a Queensland seniors card
a pension concession card.

You will need to complete the Registration Concession Application form (F3937) and present it with one of the following:

a pension concession card
a confirmation of concession card entitlement form
a Queensland seniors card
a letter from the Department of Veteran Affairs confirming you are either an ex-service person who is 70-100 per cent incapacitated or that you are a war widow.

Note: A registration concession does not apply to holders of 'seniors business discount' cards issued by the Queensland Department of Communities to persons aged under 65.

Concession conditions
You can only claim the registration concession if registering:

a motorbike or motor vehicle up to 4.5 tonne gross vehicle mass, or motorised caravan, registered in your name
a recreational vessel
a vehicle used mainly for private use

You may only receive one motor vehicle concession between you and your spouse or one recreational vessel concession. You may receive a concession on one motor vehicle and one recreational vessel at the same time.

New vehicle or vessel
When buying a new vehicle or vessel, you will need to make application for the concession to be applied to the new registration. For new motor vehicles, this can be arranged with the motor dealer at the time of registration.

Second-hand vehicle or vessel
When buying a registered vehicle or vessel, such as a second-hand vehicle or vessel, you will need to make application for the concession to be applied to the registration at time of transfer. This will ensure that when you next renew your registration, it will be at the concessional rate.

Replacement vehicle or vessel
If you are:

an ex-service person who is 70-100 per cent incapacitated

65 years and older and hold a Queensland seniors card

have completed a Registration Concession Application form (F3937)
are the registered operator of the replacement vehicle or vessel and its to be used primarily for private use
have been previously identified with Queensland Transport as a senior over 65 years of age or an ex-service person who is 70-100 per cent incapacitated
currently have a registration concession on your vehicle or vessel.

If you do not meet any of the above, you will need to complete the Registration Concession Application form (F3937) and present it with one of the following:

a Queensland seniors card
a letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs confirming you are an ex-service person who is 70-100 per cent incapacitated.
