THE NSW Government will extend free vehicle entry to NSW national parks for all Commonwealth Veteran Card holders from July 2025. Previously limited to some DVA Gold Card holders, the expanded program will now include White and Orange Card holders, allowing more veterans to access 45 fee-paying parks. The initiative aims to support veterans’ physical and mental wellbeing while recognising their service. NSW has 895 national parks and reserves, with only 5% charging entry fees. Applications will open via the NSW National Parks website.

SCAMS THAT USE FAKE TERM DEPOSIT SCHEMES
BENDIGO Bank is warning that scammers are increasingly targeting Australians aged 65 and over with fake term deposit schemes. Criminals impersonate legitimate financial institutions and lure retirees into transferring large sums by promising unrealistically high returns. Older Australians reported almost $100M in scam losses last year, making them the most affected age group. The bank advises people to be wary of unsolicited investment contact, avoid clicking links, verify account details, and seek trusted advice. Suspected scams should be reported immediately.
