The youth entitlement is age-based: under 18. Ages 4 and under already travel free without myki. Use a Youth myki, not a bank card/contactless substitute. Some V/Line journeys require a $0 paper ticket obtained using the card, and interstate surcharges can remain payable. Free youth eligibility ends at 18.
What to prepare
- Obtain and carry a Youth myki; obtain a paper ticket for services that require one.
- For an online purchase, follow the official myki account requirements. A universal document-upload checklist was not identified in the reviewed public guidance.
