The Brain Injury Association of Tasmania hope that, in the future, the National Assistance Card will be available to all Australian's living with disability and/or health conditions.
People living with brain injury will be able to apply for a National Assistance Card from late 2021.
The National Assistance Card is a personalised card to assist people with disability in the community.
The Card helps cardholders to explain the effects of their brain injury, other disability, or health condition.
Cardholders can use the Card to support them in their everyday activities.
The National Assistance Card will be available to any person in Australia who can provide medical evidence supporting that they live with a brain injury.
People will need to apply for a National Assistance Card using a new online application platform.
The National Assistance Card is not available just yet; it will be available to people with brain injury in late 2021.
More information about how to apply for the National Assistance Card will be available on this website soon.
