Why affiliate?

Affiliation with the Companion Card program is free and means you will be joining a fantastically diverse group of businesses and organisations across Western Australia already recognising the Companion Card.

The Companion Card has been developed to assist the business and community sectors to comply with existing disability anti-discrimination legislation and to increase the participation of people with a disability as active customers in the community.

The Companion Card is not a discount scheme, concession or benefit.

Benefits of affiliation include:

• You will be meeting your social responsibility by incorporating the human rights of people with a disability into your ticketing policies and practices.
• You will have access to an additional, untapped target market.
• The Companion Card, if adopted by a venue/event, provides evidence that the organisation or business has taken some steps to remove discriminatory policies or practices.
• Becoming an affiliate is an easy way to help you prevent some complaints of discrimination being lodged against you with the Equal Opportunity Commission.
• Affiliation will present a positive public image for your organisation or business.
