Blue Light Card announces exclusive savings to recognise frontline staff

Blue Light Card, a discount service exclusively for frontline workers and emergency volunteers across Australia, is providing exclusive benefits to recognise frontline workers.

The offers, in partnership with Fortem, aim to celebrate the incredible work first responders do to care for and protect our communities as a part of Thank a First Responder Day on 7 June 2023.

Blue Light Card is waiving its membership fee and working closely with its brand partners to create exclusive offers and increased savings. This will allow each member to access hundreds of dollars of savings across a range of discount partners.

Blue Light Card General Manager Tracey Duff said these one-off benefits could not come at a better time, given the challenges industries have faced over the last few years and the rising cost of living.

“Thank a First Responder Day is an opportunity for every Australian to pause and acknowledge the tireless efforts and incredible work our first responders undertake in our communities daily,” Duff said.

Frontline workers eligible for these benefits include health and aged care, fire service, law enforcement, ambulance service, coastal service, State Emergency Services (SES) workers and volunteers, Border Force and immigration, corrective services, defence force, and Surf Life Saving Australia.

Cherie Bennett, a nurse who works clinically and in training and education said, “The last couple of years working during a pandemic like COVID-19 has been incredibly hard. It has been stressful, chaotic and ever-changing. The discounts Blue Light Card provides are phenomenal because it helps offset the rising costs for everyday items.

“I'm incredibly passionate about Blue Light Card because it’s about helping people, which is what we do as frontline workers. And the fact that Blue Light Card is exclusive to frontline workers makes me feel valued.”

Through Blue Light Card, more than two million eligible frontline workers and their families can access the discounts, savings and experiences from top brands and local businesses — a welcome relief for first responders and their families. These include everyday necessities, including food and clothes, as well as once-in-a-lifetime holiday experiences.
