Companion Card Holders

In reply to Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (24 June 2025). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well): I have been advised:

All existing Companion Card holders and all new applicants have been offered a Master Locksmith’s Association Key (MLAK). As anticipated, some Companion Card holders did not apply for a key as they did not require one. In 2024-25, 2,645 MLAKs were provided free to Companion Card holders.
