You’re invited to celebrate the rollout of the National Assistance Card to autistic people. The National Assistance Card is designed to support autistic people and people with brain injury, helping them communicate their needs and receive the assistance they require in the community.
The National Assistance Card is now available nationally for Autistic people and people with brain injury!
The National Assistance Card is a personalised card to assist people with disability and health conditions in the community.
The Card can be used in everyday situations, such as cafes and grocery stores, in social settings, and with emergency services.
By using their Card, cardholders can share information about their disability and what they need without having to repeat themselves, explain or share out loud, providing a sense of relief and convenience.
