The Access Card features symbols that discreetly highlight the barriers you face and the reasonable adjustments you may need, such as level access, essential companion, or assistance with visual or auditory information.
Presenting your Access Card or its unique identification number can often reduce the need for repeated explanations and the submission of extensive personal documentation.
The Access Card can also work online with ticketing systems to unlock necessary access facilities.
When you register, Nimbus Disability will handle all your information securely and safely without us ever having cause to see the details behind why you need accessible seating and ticketing options.
Once you've registered, Nimbus will then provide you with a unique ID number on your Digital Access Pass or Access Card. If the +1 or +2 is allocated, you can use this to book Essential Companion tickets.
