🎟️ The Companion Card: Because We Deserve to Be Included

If you—or someone you love—have a lifelong disability and need support to participate in community events and activities, the Companion Card isn’t just a ticket — it’s a right.

This card means your carer or companion gets in FREE at venues and events across Australia, removing barriers and making inclusion real. No extra costs. No excuses. Just dignity, respect, and full participation.

The Companion Card is recognised nationwide — NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS, SA, WA, NT & QLD — and it’s time every business and venue stepped up to support it.

Whether you’re a person with a disability, a family member, a carer, or a business wanting to make a difference, this card helps unlock access, inclusion, and connection.

🔥 Don’t wait! Apply now. Your right to access your community matters.

Tom loves nothing more than going to the football and seeing the bombers win. Football is an incredibly accessible sport to watch. Even better when you use your companion card and your support worker doesn’t pay
