While insurers determine their Greenslip prices by taking into account different factors, being a pensioner is not one of them. Whichever insurer you choose, being a senior does not influence any change of Greenslip insurance prices in NSW.
However, if you are an eligible pensioner, you can enjoy concessions that can change your vehicle registration costs. You do not have to pay for any registration fees, conditional or not, not any motor vehicle taxes. Additionally, if you are a DVA pensioner who receives a 70% or higher disability pension. You are qualified to not pay the NSW transfer fees and associated stamp duty costs. This applies to those who have 50 or more impairment points assessed under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004. Persons excluded from these fees are those who collect a Totally and Permanently Incapacitated pension or Extreme Disablement Adjustment pension.

- Current Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) showing a NSW address, issued by the Department of Human Services or the Department of Veteran’s affairs,

- Letter or statement from DVA that affirms you receive a pension of 70% or higher or an EDA Pension; or assessed under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004 at 50%; or more impairment points.
