Parking permit update
The 2026 Annual and Trimester 1 permits for each campus will be available from Monday 2 February 2026
Annual and Trimester parking permits
A parking permit is best suited for staff and students who regularly and consistently park on campus.
A permit allows you to park on campuses within the zone the permit is valid for. As a permit holder, your number plate is linked to your permit so nothing needs to be displayed on your vehicle and no additional daily payment is required when parking.
A limited number of annual and trimester permits are available for each period and it is recommended you take note of upcoming sale dates to avoid disappointment.
For those who visit campus less frequently and for shorter periods of time, flexible casual parking remains a great option for you.
Note that there is no parking available on campus at Brisbane City (South Bank).

Special permits
Special permits are issued on a temporary basis for those who do not hold a Disability permit and require a car park closer to campus buildings.
This permit is valid in Special permit zones and can be applied for under the following circumstances:
Temporary mobility
If your injury or illness prevents you from walking from a University car park to your work or study area you are eligible to apply. Please provide a doctor’s certificate indicating your circumstances and the expected duration with your application. A maximum of 6 months is possible.
Pregnancy
A Special permit can be provided to those who are pregnant. Please provide a doctor’s certificate/letter indicating the due date with your application. A maximum of 3 months before/after due date is possible.
Note: The temporary mobility permit application form is through the Griffith University ePermits Portal, and can be accessed via the link below. If you do not hold a valid permit you will need to purchase the permit, the cost will be displayed in your application. If you have a valid permit that will remain valid for the duration of the temporary mobility permit application then the cost of the permit will be waived.
If you require additional injury management support or accommodations, please contact the Health, Safety and Wellbeing Team via workrehab@griffith.edu.au

Brisbane South (Nathan) Campus - Residential parking permits
Residents of Griffith accommodation at Nathan can purchase a Residential Permit through the online portal. This permit allows parking on the roof of the N38 Multistorey Carpark and in General Permit areas on the Brisbane South, Logan, and Gold Coast campuses.
- The boomgate to N38 should open when scanning your number plate. You can also request access on your swipe card or mobile phone by contacting the parking team.
- This permit only allows parking in the open air roof section of the N38 multistorey. If you prefer undercover parking please purchase the N38 Multistorey permit instead.
- Purchasing a permit does not guarantee a parking space at all times.
- If your primary campus is not Nathan but you live on campus, you are still eligible for this permit.
- Residential permits are not subject to availability and can be applied for at any time during the trimester by eligible Nathan residents.
Griffith Parking does not provide Residential permits for Gold Coast Griffith Uni Village residents. We recommend purchasing the G55 Multistorey Permit as that is best positioned to the Griffith Uni Village accommodation.
Please visit Services@Griffith to find out more information.
