Apply for an accessible parking permit

You, or the organisations that transports you, may be entitled to use accessible parking bays or to park for longer periods in standard bays through Victoria's APP Scheme (Accessible Parking Permit).

To do so, you will need an assessment by your general practitioner or occupational therapist.
