Information about Companion Cards

The National Companion Card brings together state and territory programs so that eligible people with disability who require attendant care support can participate at venues and activities without incurring the cost of a second ticket for their companion.

States and territories are responsible for issuing Companion Cards. You can find out more at National Companion Card
