This image can be shared on your social media platforms to promote the National Assistance Card.

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 assist them to feel more confident in everyday situations; provide peace of mind for families and carers; enhance community understanding of disability and health conditions; and support positive community interaction with cardholders.

The Card is available to all people in Australia living with brain injury.

In Tasmania the Card is being trialled with the autistic community.
