Concessions
The Community Services Directorate administers a range of concessions which aim to improve the affordability of essential services including taxi, spectacles and utilities, for low-income earners and people experiencing disadvantage.
The Program aims to achieve a balance in the standard of living and access to essential services for all members of the ACT community.
