About the program

Ticket to Wellbeing is a Tasmanian Government initiative designed to reduce the cost of sport and active recreation membership and/or registration for eligible older people.

Ticket to Wellbeing provides two $100 vouchers towards the cost of sport and active recreation membership and/or registration for older people aged 65 and older who are listed on a Services Australia Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card.

The key objective of Ticket to Wellbeing is to increase the number of older Tasmanians participating in sport and active recreation.

The program runs on a financial year. Vouchers must be given to an Approved Activity Provider to redeem by 6 June 2025.

Who is eligible for a voucher?

Applicants must be:

• living in Tasmania
• aged 65 years and over at the time of application
• be listed on a valid Services Australia Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card.

What can a voucher be used for?

A voucher can be used toward the cost of club membership or registration fees at Tasmanian sport or active recreation organisations who are listed as an approved activity provider.

A searchable list of Approved Activity Providers is regularly updated and made available on the Ticket to Wellbeing website.

Ticket to Wellbeing vouchers can only be used or redeemed by Approved Activity Providers.
