The National Carers Card Has an Updated Card Design - Here's What's Changed

We're introducing an updated design for the National Disability Card and National Carers Card with improvements that make the cards more secure, durable, accessible, and easier to use. The new cards feature advanced laser printing for enhanced security, a simplified 9-digit card number, improved durability, and Braille to support blind and vision-impaired card holders. Existing cards remain fully valid until their expiry date, and card holders will automatically receive the new design when they renew. These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to providing practical, inclusive, and trusted cards for our community.
