AFAIK, yes, as long as they have the easily recognisable wheelchair
icon. Nobody bothers too much anyway - to judge by the number of cars
without disabled stickers parked in disabled parking spaces
Before my husband died this year (he had MND) we had a flier made which
we stuck under windscreen wipers - "You've got my parking space, would
you like my disability too?"

Thanks Anne, I will take my sticker with me.

Your comments re Mobile folk taking disabled spaces, seems to be a
worldwide problem. :-(

Official disabled parking stickers (State Government issued) allow free
parking at metered spaces in Queensland (among other concessions)!! You'd be
a very brave person who'd assume a foreign sticker is valid! Can you imagine
the thousands that'd appear (Turkmenistan! Cayman Islands! Kirribati!!!).
You can buy passports bestowing citizenship without ever setting foot in
some countries. They're not valid here either!!

Short answer - NO!!!!

No.

I mean, if they are the same logo (white wheelchair logo on blue background)
then people would recognise them, but legally they have no validity, as they
are issued by state governments, and have authorisation numbers etc., and
you'd get your car ticketed.
