Public Transport Concessions

In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (22 June 2017).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): The Minister for Transport and Infrastructure has advised that:

There is a current process by which full time interstate secondary or tertiary students are able to receive public transport concession fares in South Australia.

Interstate students visiting South Australia can apply for a student card at Adelaide Metro InfoCentres, upon showing their interstate student card to confirm their eligibility. The card must state 'Full Time' with a current valid date. The cost of the student photo ID card for interstate students is $15.00, which includes the photo.

Student concessions on public transport for South Australian residents are funded by the responsible state government department. For example, concessions for primary and secondary school students are funded by the Department for Education and Child Development.

South Australian students travelling interstate must apply to that jurisdiction for a student card. Information about applying for student cards in each jurisdiction is generally available online.
