Am I eligible for a Companion Card?
The NSW Companion Card program is for people with significant and permanent disability who have a lifelong need for attendant care support when accessing the community. The Companion Card allows a cardholder’s support person free entry into participating venues and events.
To be eligible for a NSW Companion Card:
- You are a person with significant and permanent disability; and
- You must provide medical or allied health reports that confirm a lifelong need for attendant care support when accessing the community; and
- Aids and other technologies do not meet your needs; and
- You are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and live in NSW.
Note: Eligibility for NDIS does not mean you’ll meet the NSW Companion Card criteria.
The outcome presented using this tool is a guide only.
