Member Testimonials

Desley, QLD

Advocacy is where I get value from my membership. Branch activities, discounts and other incentives are a bonus for me.

Gary, SA

I became a lifetime member over 20 years ago. I’m proud to be a part of an organisation that’s advocating strenuously against the mistreatment of older people and pension poverty on our behalf.

Merle, NSW

Love the magazine. It’s extremely helpful, informative and political – but it needs to be. It’s positive, open-minded and not afraid to challenge.

Jan, NT

I use my membership to access discounts. I’ve used the insurance for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and everybody I’ve ever shared the magazine with absolutely loves it.

Our recent advocacy wins

Lowering the deeming rate

Lowering the deeming rate

National Seniors has led the campaign to reduce deeming rates since 2019, resulting in two rate reductions. The first reduced the lower rate to 1% and the upper rate to 3%, affecting 630,000 pensioners. The second reduced the lower rate to 0.25% and the upper rate to 2.25%, affecting 565,000 Age Pensioners.

Pension Loans Scheme wins

Pension Loans Scheme wins

The Pension Loans Scheme was extended to everyone of pension age from 1 July 2019. We called for a lowering of the Pension Loans Scheme interest rate, it fell from 5.25% to 4.5% per annum. In December 2021, it was announced that the interest rate would drop from 4.5% to 3.95% per annum - a reward for our strong and consistent campaigning.

Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety

Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety

National Seniors has highlighted the problems in aged care for many years and welcomed the establishment of the commission. We have been actively engaged, providing submissions, attending hearings and communicating the experiences and views of members through the media.

Extra home care packages

Extra home care packages

There has been an extra 73,105 Home Care Packages released at a cost of $4.6 billion since the 2018-19 Budget thanks to our pressure on the federal government. We continue to call for more high-level packages to meet the high demand; and for government to act quickly on the recommendations of the aged care royal commission.
