A carer’s parking permit exempts a vehicle used by a carer visiting a resident from time limits and parking meter fees while the carer is providing in-home care.
The permit is issued to the resident rather than the carer. This enables residents to receive care visits from multiple carers who are not eligible for the support workers parking permit.
A carer’s parking permit may be issued to a resident who is eligible for a resident parking permit and has a letter from a recognised service provider or health professional setting out the resident's need for in-home care. A carer’s parking permit will be issued in lieu of one entitlement to a resident parking permit.
Eligible residents are entitled to one (1) transferable permit per household. The permit may only be used for the purposes of providing in-home care. The permit must be returned to the resident once the visit has ended.
The permits may only be used by carers providing care who meet the definition of carers as set out in the Carers (Recognition) Act 2010.
Support worker permits
City of Sydney offer a support worker parking permit that can be used in the City of Sydney, Randwick, and Inner West Council areas.
