Further information:

The Companion Card is for people with a significant and permanent disability, who require attendant care support in order to participate at community venues and activities.

You can apply for a Companion Card if you can demonstrate all of the following:

you live in South Australia
you have a significant and permanent disability
due to the impact of your disability you are unable to participate at most community venues and activities without attendant care support
your need for this level of support will be lifelong

Service providers, organisations or companions cannot apply for a Companion Card. Cards are only issued to, and remain the property of, the person with a disability. This enables them to choose who they would prefer to take as a companion to a venue or activity.
