Where can I use the Companion Card?
Disability anti-discrimination legislation applies to all organisations, regardless of their size of the type of service provided. Any organisation that charges an admission or participation fee for its services or activities may accept the Companion Card.
The Companion Card program was developed with an initial focus on recreation, leisure, social and cultural venues and activities, but is open to participation by other industries.
A list of Tasmanian venues, events and activity operators that have formally agreed to accept the Companion Card is available.
Look for the distinctive Companion Card logo displayed at the entrance of business premises or on their promotional and advertising material. You can even use your card interstate. For more information about affiliates interstate visit www.companioncard.gov.au
Some venue and activity operators may not know about the Companion Card, but may still accept your card if you show it to them or tell them about it. If there is a venue or activity that you wish to attend you should ask, at the time of booking your tickets, if they will accept your Companion Card.
The back of your card provides the Companion Card website address and the number for the Disability Bureau for venue and activity operators to find out more about the Companion Card and to find out how to affiliate with the program.
Please note: acceptance of the Companion Card does not indicate that a venue/activity is accessible. Cardholders are advised to check accessibility with the venue/activity operator before booking tickets.
