No, any old applications received will not be processed and will be returned to your doctor to fill out a new application.

As part of the disability parking scheme update, new assessment questions were developed in consultation with medical practitioners. These new questions allow doctors and occupational therapists to assess mobility issues more accurately. Some questions on old forms are no longer valid and don't meet the new requirements.

Once your online application is approved, your permit will arrive in the mail in approximately 7 to 10 business days. These times may vary depending on Australia Post demand.

This option will take approximately 5 days longer than having the permit posted directly to you.

You can choose to pick your permit up from the Loddon Shire Council when filling out your application. However this option will result in the below process:

The permit application will be processed by the Department of Transport and if successful the permit created.

The permit will then be sent by post to the Loddon Shire Council taking 7 to 10 business days to arrive depending on Australia Post demand. 

You will receive an SMS notification when your permit is at council and is ready for collection.

You will then need to attend the Councils customer service in Wedderburn to pick up your permit.

Whether or not you are issued with a permit is decided by an eligibility criteria completed by your doctor and the information in your application. If you were not issued with a permit, it is because the eligibility criteria indicates you don't qualify for one.
