Card Holder Terms and Conditions

1. The Companion Card must only be used when the card holder requires the assistance of a companion to participate at a particular venue/activity.

2. Only the person whose photograph and details appear on the Companion Card can use the card.

3. Companion Tickets cannot be used without the Companion Card holder being present.

4. Companion Card holders must inform the venue/activity operator of their requirement for a Companion Ticket at the time they book or purchase their own ticket.

5. Acceptance of the Companion Card does not indicate that a venue/activity is accessible. Card holders are advised to check accessibility with the venue/activity operator before booking tickets.

6. The minimum expectation of Companion Card affiliates is that they will issue card holders, who require assistance to participate, with one Companion Ticket or admission, at no charge. This ticket will be exempt from all booking fees.

7. Where a card holder has a requirement for more than one companion, the card holder must negotiate this with the venue/activity operator at the time of booking.

8. The Companion Card can be used to obtain admission for any programs, services and sessions run by affiliated venue/activity operators. This will be subject to the usual admission availability and conditions.

9. The Companion Card can be used in conjunction with any recognised concession cards.

10. Card holders must provide their Companion Card details when making telephone bookings, and must present their valid card during ticket collection, and at any time when asked during the activity. If card holders cannot present their card, they may be charged for the Companion Ticket.

11. Affiliated venues/activities must ensure card holders are able to be located physically close to their companions. Companions must remain close to card holders to assist them as required. Card holders with specific seating requirements must inform the venue/activity operator at the time of booking.

12. Some venue/activity operators may charge for participation over and above general admission costs (e.g., a fee for rides in addition to an entry fee at a fun park). Affiliated venues/activities must issue a Companion Ticket for both admission and for additional components, such as rides etc., if the card holder requires assistance in order to participate.

13. Companion Cards may be used to purchase a package deal for the card holder that combines admission costs with ancillary components such as meals etc. When booking a package deal, card holders must check with the venue/activity operator, what is included with the Companion Ticket. It is essential that the companion’s support to the card holder is not disrupted if the ancillary components are not included in the Companion Ticket. For example, if meals are not included, the Companion must be able to bring or access food in a manner that enables them to provide continual support to the card holder.

14. Booking and ticket distribution practices for Companion Tickets should not be more difficult than the standard ticketing practices of the affiliated venue/activity.

15. If an affiliated venue/activity operator suspects that a Companion Card is being misused, they can report this to the Companion Card Program. Proven misuse of the Companion Card may result in the card being cancelled, and the card holder will be ineligible to reapply.

16. It is understood that the applicant accepts the Companion Card Holder Terms and Conditions when they submit a card holder application form.
