The Link concessions newsletter
The Link newsletter provides concessions stakeholders with information available from the Victorian State Government’s concession program, along with other programs that may be useful for concession card holders.
Do you run a program that you’d like to have featured in The Link? Or want to see more information about a Department of Human Services program? We welcome all story ideas and feedback. Please contact us on concessions.communications@dhs.vic.gov.au with your ideas.
