How to apply for a disability parking permit

If you're an individual, there's 2 types of disability parking permits you can apply for:

  • Temporary permit - issued for up to 12 months depending on what your doctor declares on the form.
  • Permanent permit - issued for up to 5 years.
  1. Step 1

    Check you're eligible

    You can apply for a disability parking permit if the following conditions are met:

    • you have a permanent physical impairment or a temporary impairment that is likely to continue for more than six months
    • the impairment severely restricts speed of movement
    • the impairment significantly inhibits the ability to access public transport

    There is no age restriction to be issued a disability parking permit.

  2. Step 2

    Complete your section on the form

    You'll need to complete and sign section 1 of the application for a disability parking permit form. (240.6 KB PDF) 

    A parent, guardian or agent may complete the form if you are unable too.

  3. Step 3

    Take the form to a doctor

    A doctor must complete and sign the relevant sections.

    These sections must be completed in full.

  4. Step 4

    A temporary permit fee is $13. A permanent permit fee is $24.

    You can submit the form:
