Disability Parking Permits are issued to people with a disability and organisations that provide transport services.

Following are procedures on how you can obtain a Disability Parking Permit in South Australia.

Permit conditions

Disability parking permits:

• are valid if the vehicle is being used to transport the permit holder.
• are valid for organisations providing transport services to people with disabilities.
• allows the vehicle to be parked in parking spaces which are signposted and have the people with disabilities symbol painted on the road surface.

If a sign indicates that a time limit applies to disability parking space there is no additional time allowed.

Parking concessions

The National minimum parking concessions for the Australian disability parking permit have been introduced to South Australia. If the time limit on a parking sign is:

• less than 30 minutes, the time limit for a disability parking permit holder will be 30 minutes
• 30 minutes or more but less than one hour, the time limit for a disability parking permit holder will be two hours
• more than one hour, the time limit for a disability parking permit holder will be twice the period indicated on the sign.

If the parking sign is in an area set aside for people with disabilities, the additional parking concessions do not apply. You should not exceed any parking sign time limits applying to a parking area for people with disabilities.

Displaying the permit

• The permit must only be used when the vehicle is being used to transport the permit holder.
• You only need to display the permit when parking under the above conditions.
• Permits must be clearly displayed so the permit number and expiry date are visible from the exterior of the vehicle.

Hook permits must be removed from display before the vehicle is driven. This is to ensure the permit does not obscure the vision of the driver.

Misuse

A person must not display or allow a permit to be displayed other than to transport the holder of the permit, or if the permit is issued to an organisation, for the transport of a person with a disability to whom the organisation provides services.

Cancellation

An Australian disability parking permit may be cancelled if the holder of the permit is no longer eligible for the permit or if the holder of the permit is convicted of misuse.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
