Welcome to the Victorian Companion Card
Companion Card promotes the rights of people with a disability, who require a companion, to fair ticketing at events and venues. Companion card is a National program administered by the state you live in.
The Companion Card is for people with significant permanent disability who can demonstrate that due to the impact of the disability they are unable to attend most community activities or events without attendant care, and that need is life-long.
Companion Card can now be used on all Victorian public transport services. Cardholders can have their companions travel without charge, on all train and tram services, and all metropolitan bus services, country trains, coach and town bus services.
Where you can use your Companion CardAlready many organisations, both big and small, have formally affiliated to accept the Companion Card. Find out where you can use your card.
