Parking at UWA
UWA uses a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) system for staff, students and visitors. The system replaced annual and pre-paid permits in 2025. ACROD permits are not affected. With PAYG, you only pay for parking when you find a bay.
- No annual or pre-paid permits: All users pay only for the hours they park
- EasyPark app: For instructions on setting up and using EasyPark, visit the EasyPark FAQs page.

We are also exploring more affordable offsite parking options.

Why is UWA moving to PAYG?The PAYG system aligns with Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which requires parking permits to guarantee a parking bay, which isn’t always possible at peak times. With PAYG, you only pay for parking when you find a bay.
