Form of cards
240A Form of cards
A pensioner concession card, a seniors health card or a health care card must be in a form approved in writing by the Secretary for that card.
Subject to subsection (3), an approval under subsection (1) may extend to:
the inclusion on a card of information in a form not capable of being read except by the use of equipment of a particular kind; and
the specification in a card of a day as the day at the end of which the card will expire; and
a form of card that is not an actual card carrying visible information.
In the case of a concession card other than an automatic issue card or a card issued under subsection 1061ZJA(3), (4) or (5) of the 1991 Act:
the card must specify the day at the end of which the card expires; and
the day to be so specified is the last day of the period specified, for the purposes of subsection 37(9) or (10), in the determination granting the card.
Subject to section 240B, a concession card is to include the name of each person (if any) who is a dependant of the holder of the card.
The specification of a day in a card under paragraph (2)(b) does not affect the qualification of the person to whom the card is issued for a card of the same or any other type.
The expiry of a card on a day specified under paragraph (2)(b) does not affect the qualification of the person to whom the card was issued for a card of the same or any other type.
A failure to comply with subsection (4) in relation to a concession card does not alone render the card ineffective for the purposes of this or any other Act.
In this section:
dependant has the same meaning as in Part 2A.1 of the 1991 Act.
