To receive concessional travel fares, Great Southern Rail is required to confirm your eligibility for the concession electronically with Centrelink. If you do not want this to happen you will need to contact Centrelink or the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) to obtain a Pension Concession Letter as proof of your eligibility for the concession and provide this directly to Great Southern Rail before the concession can be given.

Notes from DVA web site
A carer may accompany eligible pensioners and receive the same concession
on the Commonwealth owned section of the track, subject to the presentation
of a medical certificate signed by a medical practitioner. The carer may also
use a PCC to obtain a discount over State owned track.
The medical certificate is to state the carer’s name and that they are required
to provide care for the journey. The carer does not have to be in receipt of a
carer’s pension or be related to the person travelling. The certificate is to be
sent to GSR with payment.
