    Is that valid across all states?
    I ask because ambulance service is charged differently in different states, and some states charge locals differently to interstate people.

    Yes. Funny, I just looked it up yesterday for a mate who was about to pay his membership.
    Note: It doesn't always pay for non emergency type transport, although in my recent health stuff it has. Of course, TAC covers motor accident related transport.

    South Australia is the fly in the ointment... Again....

    Residents of Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania who are holders of the following cards, valid at the date of transport, are covered for clinically necessary ambulance transports:

    Pensioner Concession Card (includes dependent children listed on the card, but not spouses)
    Health Care Card including dependents and spouses listed on the card (does not include Health Care Card for Carer allowance and foster care issued in the name of the child)
    A child holding a Child Disability Health Care Card, or Foster Child Health Care Card, but not their guardians/families listed on the card
    Please note that Commonwealth Seniors Health Cards, Seniors Cards and Medicare Cards do not entitle holders to free ambulance services.


    Residents of Queensland and the Northern Territory who have a Pension or Health Care Card should send the Ambulance Victoria invoice to the ambulance service in their state for consideration.


    Residents of Western Australia who have a Pension Card (but not a Health Care Card) should send the Ambulance Victoria bill to the ambulance service in their state for consideration.


    Neither a Pension Concession Card nor a Health Care Card will provide any coverage for residents of South Australia

    You get cheap rego as well, but only for one car. It's about half.

    But this is the GOB thread, so I reckon I should complain ...

    Today I officially became a GOB too.
    Got my Pensioner Concession Card ... whoohoo!(I think)

    So, is this it? Is there any more to it .. to be a GOB, that is? I'll have to start thinking of things to get grumpy about.

    For starters... why did it take the stoopid guvment so long to make me so grumpy .. or should that be ... old.
    Welcome Arthur, I've been a GOB for quite a few years now, even got cranky with Tombie

    Wow! That's platinum class grumpy. I can't imagine any situation where that might happen.

    Next time I'm up at Burrum Point or Kinkuna, I'll drop in and carry out a 'Brew Review'.

    You will be very welcome. I'm the 3rd house back from the boat ramp on Coonarr Creek, with an old Hercus drill press as the letter box.

    and "One of those days ( all too common ) when I post after an afternoon on the home brew."

    How many of us would it take to drain the entire home brew stocks? Is the home brew rated as worth the trip Some are amazing some are

    If Ian and crew arrive for your offer, will you all post pics during and after the session.


    Back to being or making people grumpy?


    Happy new year all

    Well it's a fairly basic brew, generally Coopers larger. For the last 6 or7 years I've taken the whole lot including the 60 litre ss fermenter and 6 x 10 litre kegs with me to WA gold detecting. Four of us get stuck into it so it's doesn't mature at all and it's made from awful Leonora or Leinster bore water, but after a hard day in the desert country it tastes like nectar from the gods.IMG_0038.jpgIMG_0046.jpgIMG_0048.jpgIMG_0051.jpgIMG_0052.jpg
