Apply for a disabled parking permit

Victoria transitioned to the new Accessible Parking Permit (APP) scheme on 3 May 2021. Improvements to the scheme include:

  • temporary permits for 6, 12 or 24 months
  • increased permit length, from 3 years to 5 years, for individuals with a permanent disability classification
  • a new, single, secure state-wide permit design that will reduce permit misuse
  • inclusion of occupational therapists as assessors, in addition to GPs
  • Double Time (green permits) and permits for organisations will continue.

Apply for or replace a parking permit

We no longer print disabled labels at the Customer Service centres. All requests for disabled parking permits (including replacements) are now managed directly through the Accessible Parking Portal.

Parking permits for individuals

You may be eligible for a disabled parking permit if:

  • you are a Casey resident
