Conditions
Full-time internal postgraduate students and undergraduates enrolled in a course approved by Centrelink for Austudy or Youth Allowance are eligible for tertiary transport concessions. International students enjoy the same eligibility for concession travel as domestic students. Eligible students are able to travel at all times on QR Citytrain rail services, Brisbane City Council bus and ferry services and all other urban bus services throughout the state for half the regular fare.
Separate ID card required for concession travel
Students in south east QLD need only a current student card bearing a QR Identifier from their education provider.
For the purposes of concession travel, "south east Queensland" is defined as "the area stretching from Gympie in the north to Coolangatta in the south and west to Helidon" (see Transport concessions for tertiary students, Queensland Transport).
To be eligible for concession fares, students outside south east QLD must go through the process of completing a Tertiary Transport Card Application form, have it verified by the education provider administration and forwarded to QR's ticketing services so the tertiary transport card can be issued.
Health Care Card
Health Care Card holders are not eligible for concession fares on public transport.
