Benefits of affiliation

The Companion Card:

  • provides a simple, consistent and reliable method of identifying people with a disability who require significant attendant care support to participate in activities and visit venues
  • assists organisations to meet some obligations under anti-discrimination laws
  • is an opportunity for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to social inclusion and community access for people with a disability and present a positive public image.

Affiliates are provided with promotional materials to show their support for the program. Details of affiliates are available online, making it easy for cardholders to search for venues and activities where the card is accepted.

Look for affiliated businesses and organisations in your area or search using the following categories:

  • Cinema
  • Sport & Recreation
  • Tourist Attraction
  • Festival
  • The Arts
  • Transport

  • Theatre.
