The City of Melbourne understands how important it is to keep in touch with the services, activities and people in your neighbourhood.
We provide a large range of services that support people with disabilities, including comprehensive home support, community transport and mobility support and social and recreational activities.
A number of resources are also available to help when you are out and about in the city.
In this section:
Companion card
The Companion Card is issued to people with a significant, permanent disability, who can demonstrate that they are unable to access most community activities and venues without attendant care support. The card allows a second ticket to be issued to companion card holders for no charge. Find out about the Companion card
YMCA Access for All Abilities 
The Access for All Abilities (AAA) program is a state government initiative that provides opportunities for people with disability to increase their participation in sport and recreation in Melbourne.
The AAA program can also assist sport and recreation clubs in the city to make positive changes towards a more inclusive environment for all community members.
