Member for Bathurst Paul Toole said all people aged over 60 and working more than 20 hours a week will be eligible to receive discounts at more than 7000 businesses across the state, including restaurants, cinemas and hairdressers.
"Seniors who choose to stay in the workforce can benefit from the thousands of discounts and services under the NSW Seniors' Card Program," Mr Toole said.
Previously, only seniors over the age of 60 working less than 20 hours a week were able to access the Seniors' Card.
"I know many seniors in our community are feeling the growing pressure of everyday living costs," Mr Toole said.
"This new card means they can save money for the things that matter to them."

Minister for Seniors John Sidoti said the NSW Government recognises and values the contribution seniors make to society.
"With people working longer and retiring later, fewer are qualifying for a Seniors' Card at age 60," Mr Sidoti said.
"So the introduction of this new card means seniors across the state won't miss out on being part of the savings bonanza."
The Seniors' Savers Card is one of more than 70 NSW Government rebates and savings available as part of the NSW Government's Cost of Living initiative.
