Companion Card

The Companion Card program has been introduced to support people with a disability who have a life-long need for attendant care and support to participate in community activities and attend venues.

The Companion Card allows one accompanying carer to travel with the cardholder at no charge. Additional companions must also hold or purchase a valid ticket or pass. Cardholders must hold or purchase a valid ticket or pass for their travel.

The card is accepted on all TransLink bus, rail and ferry services in south east Queensland, as well as on qconnect urban bus services in regional centres of Queensland. Cardholders from any state or territory may use their card on these services.

If you would like further information, contact 13QGOV (13 74 68)^t (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) or email cardservices@smartservice.qld.gov.au.
