If you have a disability and a lifelong need for ‘attendant care support in order to participate in community activities and attend venues, the Companion Card can help you with the costs of getting out and about with the support of a companion.

Companion Card holders receive a second ‘companion’ ticket at no charge at participating venues and on public transport. That ticket is also exempt from booking fees.

The Companion Card is issued in the name of the person with a disability and is valid for 5 years.

A companion is any person who accompanies a cardholder and provides attendant care support. The cardholder’s chosen person may be a paid or unpaid assistant or carer, family member, friend or partner.

To put it simply, a Companion Ticket helps people with disability attend events and activities by allowing a support person to accompany them at no extra cost. This support ensures individuals can participate safely, confidently, and independently in the community. Companion Tickets can be used at a wide range of venues, including cinemas, theatres, concerts, sporting events, public attractions, and community activities.
