Concessions and rebates are supposed to make essential services like energy, water and transport more affordable, particularly for people on low-incomes.
But many rebates have not kept pace with the rising cost of living, leaving people on low incomes struggling to make ends meet.
In preparation for their second Cost of Living Report due to be published late this year the Council of Social Service of NSW (NCOSS) has released a Discussion Paper calling for your view on how concessions in NSW could be improved. You can have your say via this Facebook page, or you can contact NCOSS directly.
