- Disability and Roads/Transport Ministers endorsed a national permit design in late 2009. It incorporates feedback received during the consultations (see design on page 20) that the expiry date and International Symbol for Access are prominently displayed and the security features are maintained.
- The permit design does not include a photo or personal identification to be visible when displayed in the vehicle based upon feedback that permit holders’ privacy needs to be protected.
- The agencies responsible for issuing parking permits in each state and territory are currently working on a strategy to manufacture and roll-out the new permit nationally in 2010.
