Use of concession cards as identification

AUSTRAC has issued a draft AML/CTF Rule amending the definition of “primary non-photographic identification document” by replacing the term “pension card” with the new term “concession card”.

The amendment removes any doubt over whether health care cards are within the scope of the definition, as the Social Security Act 1991 defines concession cards as:
(a) a pensioner concession card; or
(b) a health care card; or
(c) a seniors health card.
