What is an accessible parking permit?
Formerly called a disabled parking permit, an Accessible Parking Permit (APP) is for drivers or passengers with a disability. It's also for organisations helping transport people with disabilities.
The Victorian Government introduced the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme to help make a simpler and more consistent process.

What improvements have been made to the process?
-
temporary permits will be available for six, 12 or 24 month periods

-
a single and secure state wide permit design that will reduce permit misuse
-
the inclusion of occupational therapists as assessors and GPs

permits for organisations will continue to be available for 12 month period.
Which types of permits can you apply for?
There are two types of permits available:
-

-
an accessible parking bay for the specified time limit.
-
a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.
-
-
Victorian double time accessible parking permit – allows you to park in:
-
a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.
-
A GP or occupational therapist functional assessment will decide on whether to issue a permit and the permit type.
