Parking permits for people with disabilities

We issue parking permits to residents living with a disability as part of the Disabled Person's Parking Scheme that operates in Victoria.

There are 2 types of Disabled Person's Parking permits available, issued according to the applicant's needs and abilities:

• Permit holders with significant disabilities who meet the eligibility criteria are entitled to park a vehicle in bays reserved for people with a disability for the specified time only or in any ordinary bay for twice the specified time.
• Permit holders requiring rest breaks when walking may park a vehicle in any ordinary bay only but for twice the specified time.

Read the eligibility requirements for each category.

Parking permits are not automatically renewed after the expiry date.
