Accessible parking permits

If you have a significant disability or injury, you may be eligible for an accessibility parking permit. 


An accessibility parking permit lets you park in accessible parking bays or for double the usual time in regular bays.

Permits are limited to one per eligible person.

They must be:

  • displayed only while the permit owner is using the vehicle (as driver or a passenger)
  • displayed so the permit number, expiry date and QR Code are clearly visible from the exterior of the vehicle.

You can't use accessible parking permits to park in restricted locations such as:

  • clearways
  • 'no stopping' or 'no parking' areas
  • 'taxi only' areas
  • bus zones
  • authorised resident areas.

Any parking fees still apply.

Permits expire

  • Short-term permits can last for six months, one year or two years.
  • Long-term permits last for five years.
  • Organisation permits can last for a maximum of 12 months.
