Access Card
About us
Designed to streamline the process of communicating your access needs, the Access Card translates your disability or impairment into easy-to-understand symbols.
In addition to translating your needs into symbols, the Access Card serves as a recognised proof of your requirements, eliminating the need for repeated explanations at different venues. This encourages venues and service providers to be proactive in their accessibility efforts.
The card not only supports your individual needs but also contributes to a broader movement towards better accessibility for all.
The 'Essential Companions' symbol is awarded to people for whom it would be significantly difficult to access services without support from another person. With this symbol it may mean you can qualify of an essential companion ticket to locations or events, or it may mean a provider will offer additional support from their own staff.
