Who should affiliate?

If your business or organisation charges an admission or participation fee for its service, you should consider affiliating with the Companion Card program.

Disability anti-discrimination legislation applies to all organisations, regardless of their size or the type of service provided.

The Companion Card program has been developed with an initial focus on recreation, leisure, social and cultural venues and events, but we welcome the participation and support of all businesses and organisations.

Removing or reducing discrimination is a shared responsibility for which more than one party may be liable. It may be beneficial for organisations to affiliate with the Companion Card even if they are not directly involved in issuing tickets or monitoring admissions, for example; venue owners or funding bodies.
