WAIVER OF FEES AND CHARGES
I understand that I may be eligible to have some of the fees and charges waived or remitted
if I:

Commonwealth;
(b)
hold a current State concession card issued by the Department for Communities and
Social Inclusion;
(c)
a totally and permanently incapacitated disability pensioner;
(d)
a British Commonwealth Service Pensioner in receipt of a pension from, and
assessed as eligible by, the Commonwealth Department of Veteran Affairs;
(e)
in receipt of Commonwealth unemployment or sickness benefits or State financial
assistance;
(f)
hold a student identification card issued under the
State Transport Authority Act
1974;
or
(g)
by such other evidence as the agency may require that the fee or charge should be
waived or remitted on the grounds of financial hardship.
Should you wish to pursue a waiver of the fees and charges you will need to forward a
photocopy of a concession card or evidence in support of fees and charges being waived on
the grounds of financial hardship. If no fee is attached and you do not qualify for a waiver of
the fee then this application will not be valid until the fee has been received by the agency.
I understand that if I am dissatisfied with a determination I can apply for a review.
