description: This identifier profile defines a Pensioner Concession Card number in an Australian context (see [Services Australia](https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/pensioner-concession-card) or [Department of Veterans' Affairs](https://www.dva.gov.au/health-and-treatment/veteran-healthcare-cards/pensioner-concession-card)).\n\nThis definition supports sending the Centrelink Customer Reference Number (CRN) (also referred to as unique identifier number (UIN) in the Centrelink Confirmation eServices (CCeS)) as displayed on the individual's Pensioner Concession Card (see [Services Australia](https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/subjects/centrelink-customer-reference-number-crn) for further information). An individual's CRN is present as the primary identifier on different concession cards and is used to confirm concessions by most government agencies and utility providers.\n\nA Pensioner Concession Card may be issued by Services Australia or Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) to pensioners and selected benefit recipients to assist them with certain living costs, by allowing access to specific goods and services at a concessional rate.
