Passenger Transport Act 2014

TfNSW is to administer, or arrange for the administration of, any scheme approved by an order under this Division.

TfNSW must give effect to the order and may, subject to that order, determine the conditions for the issue, cancellation, replacement and use of passes or vouchers for persons entitled to travel free or to the benefit of a fare concession or entitled to the benefit of other Government subsidised travel.

A determination by TfNSW may provide for (but is not limited to) the following—

procedures for assessing eligibility,

notification by recipients of changes in eligibility circumstances,

suspension of benefits,

fees payable to TfNSW to cover administrative costs relating to the determination of concession or subsidised travel applications and the issue and replacement of passes and other matters related to its functions under this section.

Despite this Division, the regulations may provide that persons of a specified class are not entitled to a benefit under a scheme approved under this Division. This subsection applies despite any determination or direction of the Minister or an operator of a service or the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.

Payments required to be made in accordance with a scheme approved under this Division are to be made from such money as may be provided by Parliament.

Regulations may be made for or with respect to the following matters—

prohibiting the provision of false or misleading information relating to applications for, or dealings with, a concession or other benefit under a scheme approved under this Division,

prohibiting or regulating the use of, or other matters relating to, passes or vouchers used in connection with a scheme approved under this Division,

imposing penalties for failing to comply with the conditions for free or concession passes for travel or for other Government subsidised travel,

the recovery of amounts overpaid or wrongly received under a scheme approved under this Division.
