Disability Parking Permits 🚗

To reduce barriers faced by people diagnosed as having a mobility impairment or legal blindness the disability parking permit scheme allows permit holders to park in parking bays showing the international symbol of access.

There are 2 types of disability parking permits:

📍Australian disability parking permit—for individuals and organisations
📍red permit—for existing red permit holders only.

If you have an Australian disability parking permit issued interstate and you move to Queensland, you will need to apply for a new permit within 14 days of becoming a resident.

Disability parking permits are issued free of charge.

Not all disabilities are visible.

The Sunflower is a simple way for people with non-visible disabilities to discreetly share that they may need a little extra time, understanding or support in public spaces.

You might see someone wearing a Sunflower lanyard, badge or bracelet, now you know what it means.

Let’s help more people recognise the Sunflower.
