Accessible (disability) parking permit

There is a new Accessible Parking Permit scheme in Victoria. These permits were formerly known as Disability Parking Permits.

The new system will streamline the application process, making it easier, simpler and more consistent across Victoria.

You can apply online for accessible parking permits for individuals or organisations.

We do not issue general parking permits for the City of Whittlesea.

Improvements to the scheme include:

  • introduction of temporary permits for 6, 12 or 24 months
  • increased permit length from 3 years to 5 years for individuals
  • introduction of a permanent disability classification, so reassessments are not required for future permit renewals
  • a new single and secure state-wide permit design that will reduce the misuse of permits
  • the inclusion of occupational therapists (OTs) as assessors, in addition to GPs.
