Concession travel

If you're a tertiary student studying a full time undergraduate course on campus, you can apply for a PTV Tertiary Student ID. This costs $9 and allows you to use a Concession myki until 28 February next year. Download an application at ptv.vic.gov.au/students.

If you’re an international undergraduate student, you may be eligible to buy an annual iUSEpass which gives you half-price myki fares in the zones where you study. Visit ptv.vic.gov.au/iuse for more information.

If you're a postgraduate or part-time student, you're not eligible for concession fares. However, if you're on a low income, you may be eligible for a Health Care Card.
