Travel concession eligibility on state transport
Eligibility for travel concessions on state transport is determined by Transport for NSW conditions (opens an external site).
They state:
Enrolled students must:
- be full time, attending day classes
- Full-time study is determined to be a load of at least 18 credit points per semester
- Students enrolled for a minimum of 18 credit points in only 1 semester and meeting the eligibility conditions outlined may also be eligible for a single semester travel concession.
- be aged 16 years or more
- be fully engaged in studies and not be engaged in business or employment nor be receiving any remuneration
- scholarships and allowances such as Austudy and the Youth Allowance are not counted as remuneration.
- not be a full fee paying overseas student.
Travel concession logo
Students eligible for travel concessions should have a travel concession logo displayed on their student identity card.
Student identity cards showing the travel concession logo should always be carried when traveling on state transport or when buying a ticket.
If you cease to comply with the eligibility conditions, you must discontinue using the travel concession.
If you provide false information or breach any of the conditions you could be rendered liable for prosecution.
