ACROD Parking Program Changes

ACROD Parking Program ChangesUntil now there have been two versions of the Australian Disability Parking Permits issued; a plastic pocket Australian Disability Parking Permit with a red or blue ACROD Parking Program Card for individuals and a hook permit for organisations and taxi owners.From 1 January 2015 eligible organisations and taxi owners will be issued the plastic pocket Australian Disability Parking Permit with a green ACROD Parking Program Card.This means there will be a single Australian Disability Parking Permit style in use along with a red, blue or green ACROD Parking Program Card providing a continuity of permit design when enforcement officers are inspecting permits whilst maintaining the significant security features.The pocket version of the Australian Disability Parking Permit is only valid when displayed with a valid ACROD Parking Program Card inserted into the plastic pocket. The ACROD Parking Program Card is made of paper and contains the permit number and expiry date.To be valid, the new permit must be displayed with the expiry date and permit number showing. It should be placed on the front dashboard or attached to the front windscreen via a suction cup through the hole.If you have any queries regarding the new Australian Disability Parking Permits please contact the ACROD Parking Program Team on 9242 5544 or email [email protected].
