Qantas Carer Concession Card

What is it?

Discounted airfares when a carer is required to support a person with a disability to travel.

Eligibility

The Qantas Carer Concession Card is issued to people with significant support requirements who through a physical, sensory, intellectual, cognitive or psychosocial disability are unable to travel on the aircraft without the full-time assistance of a carer.

A person is eligible if they need to have one-on-one support when seated on the aircraft for assistance with meals/drinks, toileting, administration of medication, orientation, communicating with the flight staff etc.

A person is not eligible if they only need assistance boarding the aircraft, or when they arrive at their destination.

For people who are blind or have vision impairment:

If you have either of the following you are already eligible for the Carer Discount and do not need to apply:

• a current Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card with blind entitlement; or
• a current travel pass for Person with Vision Impairment issued by a state or territory authority.
