Concession Cards provide people with access to a range of Australian Government concessions, including cheaper Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme prescriptions and access to the lower thresholds of the Extended Medicare Safety Net and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme Safety Net.

State, territory and local Governments, and some private businesses, may also provide cardholders with discounts on utilities, council rates, public transport, and other goods and services. Some Concession cards are automatically issued to certain payment recipients while others require a claim to be made.
