NSW Companion Card

The NSW Companion Card (providing free access to venues and events for the companion of a person with a disability) will be managed and distributed to eligible people with disabilities by National Disability Services NSW.

You can now call 1800 893 044 for further information about eligibility, and to have an application pack mailed to you. The card is issued to the person with a disability, not to a carer.

The first cards are due to be issued in March. Applications take about 8 weeks to be processed after lodgement.

• Continence aids

The application form for continence aids, under the Continence Aids Assistance Scheme, and guidelines for applying are now available online, at: www.bladderbowel.gov.au
