About the National Assistance Card
The National Assistance Card is currently available to people with brain injury and Autistic people in Australia.
The National Assistance Card Service hope that, in the future, the Card will be available to all people in Australia with disability and health conditions.
Background of the Card
The National Assistance Card Service is owned by the Brain Injury Association of Tasmania.
The Brain Injury Association of Tasmania (BIAT) has provided an acquired brain injury (ABI) Identification (ID) Card Program for Tasmanians living with brain injury for over 20 years.
The Australian Government Department of Social Services has provided funding to the Brain Injury Association of Tasmania for a Project to expand its ABI ID Card Program nationally. The Project is the National Assistance Card Service.
