Travel Concessions
If you are a domestic full-time student, you may be entitled to a travel concession. You will need to obtain a new travel concession sticker each year for your Student ID card. If your pattern of attendance changes it may affect your transport concessions and you may need to apply for a new card.
New stickers are available from January each year from the Student Hubs.
Please note: International students may be eligible to purchase a travel pass. Further information will be provided during Orientation or at a Student Hub.
