Applying for a Carer Business Discount Card
Carers make an important contribution to the lives of the people they care for and the communities in which they live.
The Queensland Government's Carer Business Discount Card recognises and supports carers, including approved foster and kinship carers, by providing discounts on goods and services at participating businesses throughout Queensland.

To be eligible for a Carer Business Discount Card, you must:
- Be approved as a foster or kinship carer by the Queensland Government Department Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Services, or

*For more details about the Carer Payment or Carer Allowance, contact Centrelink.
