Apply for a carers parking permit
Carers parking permits are available to eligible residents in the City of Sydney for use by a carer when providing in-home care.
Project Status: When you need to do this
The carers permit exempts the carer from parking meter and time zone restrictions where the parking area number on the permit matches the parking sign.
Some buildings are restricted which means the building’s residents may not be eligible for permits.
The permit is issued to the resident rather than the carer – this enables the resident to receive care from multiple carers who are not eligible for the care worker parking permit.
