Wow I thought it was 60+ year olds that didn't need a license. Has it always been 70 and over?

What’s the reason you ask?
As an individual they do I believe.
Unless as per Wollys link it’s part of a traditional owner group in designated areas

Victorians are entitled to a Seniors Card when they turn 60 and are therefore exempt.Kimtown wrote:Wow I thought it was 60+ year olds that didn't need a license. Has it always been 70 and over?

Here is an excerpt from the regulations. A person is exempt if he or she is ...
Á member of a traditional owner group fishing within an area subject to a natural resource agreement relevant to that traditional owner group.'
Anyway ... what's the big deal? There are quite a few categories of exempt people
