ACROD parking permits are issued based upon a person’s ability to walk, or legally blind status. People with sensory, cognitive, intellectual or psychiatric disabilities are not eligible.
You can apply if you are:
- unable to walk and always need a wheelchair, mobility or medical aid
- severely restricted in your ability to walk due to a permanent disability or medical condition
- severely restricted in your ability to walk for a minimum of six months due to a temporary disability or medical condition.
- legally blind.
Renewable (permanent) permits are issued to applicants who meet the eligibility criteria, and their condition is expected to last for the rest of their life, despite treatment and therapy options. From December 2025, all new and renewed permanent ACROD permits are issued for five years, instead of the previous two-year term.
ACROD parking permits may also be issued to organisations that regularly transport people with severe walking difficulties.
The parking permit application form can be found online and completed application forms can be submitted via:
- email to acrod@nds.org.au
- post to:
ACROD Parking Program, PO Box 184, Northbridge WA 6865
You will need your doctor or occupational therapist to fill in part two of the form. It is also advisable to attach any copies of medical reports such as x-rays or test results in support of your application.
