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 and emergency situations to help cardholders communicate their unique areas of difficulty and the assistance they may need.

The Card can:

• Give cardholders greater independence and confidence
• Provide peace of mind for families and carers
• Enhance community understanding of disability and support positive community interaction with people with disability

The Card is currently available to Autistic people and people with brain injury in Australia.

Exciting news! The National Assistance Card is now available to more people with disability across the country.

After a successful trial in Tasmania, the Card is now available for Autistic people anywhere in Australia.

This means more people can use the Card as a way to communicate their unique needs.

The Card is used in everyday situations when people are shopping or accessing services, or in emergency situations.

The Card continues to be available to people with brain injury.

It’s Brain Injury Awareness Week (18–24 August 2025).

Let’s raise awareness about the often-invisible impacts of brain injury and how we can all help build more inclusive communities.

Brain injury is defined as any damage or injury to the brain, occurring after birth, resulting in ongoing impairments.

Common causes of brain injury include motor vehicle crashes, assaults, sporting accidents, stroke, lack of oxygen to the brain, brain tumours and degenerative neurological conditions.

The impacts of brain injury can be physical, cognitive, emotional and/or behavioural – and they vary greatly from person to person. Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t make them any less real.

The National Assistance Card is a personalised communication tool that’s available to people with brain injury. Each Card includes areas of difficulty as identified by the cardholder, and a unique QR code, which once scanned shares a written or video message from the cardholder about how to best support them.

The Card can be used in everyday situations when people are shopping or accessing services, or in emergency situations.
