Taxi Card

Multipurpose Taxi Card

The Multi-Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) makes transport more affordable for Victorians with a severe disability.

The program gives a 50% subsidy on fares for taxis, hire car and rideshare (eg Uber).  

The card is issued by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria (formerly the Taxi Services Commission).  Go to https://cpv.vic.gov.au/passengers/mptp

To be eligible for the card you must:

1. Be a permanent resident of Australia and live in Victoria.
2. Have a severe and permanent disability.
3. Be unable to use public transport safely and independently.
4. Demonstrate financial hardship. You can show your Notice of Assessment from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or hold one of the following:

• Centrelink Concession Card (e.g. Disability Support Pension or Age Pension)
• Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) card or an Extreme Disablement Adjustment (EDA) or Totally and Permanently Incapacitated (TPI) notation.

Passengers who require the use of a wheelchair permanently are exempt from the financial hardship test.
