COMPANION CARD
A Companion Card promotes the rights of people with a disability, who require a companion, to fair ticketing at Victorian events and venues.
What is a Companion Card?
A Companion Card is a tool to assist organisations that charge an admission or participation fee to comply with existing anti-discrimination legislation.
The Companion Card is issued to people with a significant, permanent disability, who can demonstrate that they are unable to access most community activities and venues without attendant care support.
The card contains a photograph of the cardholder and can be presented when booking or purchasing a ticket at events and venues, provided the cardholder requires attendant care support in order to participate at that particular activity. Participating organisations will issue the cardholder with a second ticket for their companion at no charge.
