National Assistance Card

The National Assistance Card is a personalised card to assist people with disabilities to navigate their communities with greater confidence and ease.

The National Assistance Card can:

help cardholders communicate their unique areas of difficulty and the assistance they may need
give cardholders greater independence
assist cardholders to feel more confident in everyday social situations
provide peace of mind for families and carers
enhance community understanding of disability and health conditions
support positive community interaction with cardholders.
