Parking facilities for students and staff with a disability

Parking in disabled parking bays

Students wishing to park in marked disabled parking bays require current valid Road Transport Authority (RTA) Mobility Parking Permit. Application forms can be obtained from Disability Services, the University Health Service, and RTA offices. Application forms are also available online.

Mobility parking scheme online application

A valid RTA Mobility Parking Permit authorises permit holders to park free of charge in marked disabled parking bays and in any other unrestricted parking bay. An RTA Mobility Parking Permit DOES NOT guarantee a vacant disabled parking bay and DOES NOT give student or staff member a right to park in a particular parking bay.

Temporary access to on campus parking due to a medical condition

The University may also, at its discretion, provide temporary access to free of charge on-campus parking for students who provide the Director of the University Health Service with satisfactory evidence of a medical condition that causes significant impediment to that person's access to the University campus.

Permits issued under the University Access Parking Scheme will be valid for a maximum of one year. Access Parking Scheme permits are issued by the Security Service following receipt of recommendation from the Director of the University Health Service.

Permits issued under the Access Parking Scheme give a student or staff member a right to park in vacant unrestricted parking bays. They DO NOT guarantee a vacant parking bay and DO NOT give a student or staff member a right to park in a particular parking bay.

Permits issued under the Access Parking Scheme DO NOT authorise permit holders to park in marked disabled parking bays. RTA Mobility Parking Permits are required for authorisation to park in any marked disabled parking bay on campus.

The University will treat any application for a permit under the Access Parking Scheme that is found to be based on false information as a disciplinary issue, and may commence misconduct proceedings against any student or staff member who knowingly seeks to abuse the scheme.

Significant impediment to access

In determining whether a student has a medical condition that presents a significant impediment to access to the University, the Director of the University Health Service may have regard to the person's answers to the following questions:

  • How does the person normally travel to the University?
  • How will the person's access to the University be affected byte stated medical condition?
  • How is the person's access to other daily activities affected by the stated medical condition?
  • Does the person have medical evidence to support the case being made? The Director of the University Health Service may also have regard to such other information as is relevant and available.
