Mobility Parking
Parking concessions are granted to people with disabilities who have applied and received a mobility parking permit or mobility card. The card must be clearly displayed on the dashboard. The membership number must be visible whilst parked in designated mobility parks. This includes public and private car parks, eg shopping malls, hospitals and supermarkets. Concessions also apply to time restricted parking areas and metered/pay and display parking.
The parking concession scheme for people with physical disabilities
All mobility applications have to be certified by a medical specialist. Your doctor, medical specialist or nearest CCS Disability Action branch has application forms or you can download one from here.
Your disability mobility card must be displayed inside the front windscreen only when the member is using the vehicle. Abuse of the concession will result in the cancellation of your membership. If you are issued with a parking infringement and your card has not been displayed correctly, the infringement stands.
Mobility card holders can also park for double the time restrictions in P30, P60 parking restrictions, provided the mobility card is displayed on the dashboard and visible from the outside of the vehicle.
