Eligibility for a red staff parking permit

Only ongoing and fixed-term, full-time and part-time staff (as defined by the Human Resources system) may apply for a red staff parking permit.

Ongoing and fixed-term staff, who are also students, are not eligible for a student parking permit.

Full-time and part-time students who are also part-time staff may apply for a student parking permit.

A person can't have both a student and staff parking permit.

New staff

If your appointment is ongoing or fixed term you may be eligible for a staff parking permit. Please contact the Unipark office for further information.

You are eligible to apply for a staff parking permit if your employment is ongoing, or for a fixed term, and not a casual or temporary appointment, or from an employment agency.

Full payment is required at the time of obtaining a parking permit. If you are employed on a short-term contract, you may purchase a parking permit for periods of two-months duration.

How to apply for a staff parking permit

• Cost of a staff parking permit

If your appointment is on the Human Resources system, and you are eligible for staff parking, complete the application forms below or visit the UniPark Office during office hours.

All you need is your staff number and vehicle details.

Ongoing University of Western Australia staff who have a current parking permit, paid via payroll deduction, will automatically receive their new parking permit each year. Check the information and if details are incorrect, please make adjustments and return the permit to UniPark.

Cancelling your staff parking permit

Yes, you can cancel your parking permit for the following reasons:

• Staff who resign or retire from the University automatically have their deductions stopped on their final pay.
• Staff who no longer have a requirement for a parking permit may apply to have their parking payroll deduction cancelled.
• Staff who are on leave, long service leave, study leave and so on, for a consecutive period of three months or more, may also apply to have their parking payroll deduction cancelled.

Before your salary deduction is cancelled, you must return your staff parking permit with a completed Cancellation of Payroll Authority form (which you can get from the forms page of the HR website) to UniPark.

If the permit cannot be returned, the $11 replacement fee will be applied before the permit can be cancelled. A Statutory Declaration may also be required to be completed.

The form is then processed by Human Resources who will action it from the next available pay. The University does not back date any cancellation of parking payroll deduction.

You can't re-apply for a parking permit within four months of cancellation.
