Aged Care Line Marking

Quick answer: Line Marking Australia marks aged care homes and retirement villages across Australia, including accessible parking, ambulance bays, high-contrast walkway and step edges, and visitor car parks. Accessible bays follow AS/NZS 2890.6:2009 at 2.4 m by 5.4 m with a 2.4 m shared area, and the number of bays follows NCC clause D4D6.

A resident with low vision steps off a kerb she did not see. An ambulance arrives and the bay at the door has a visitor's car in it. Small things like faded lines can make a big difference in aged care.

We mark aged care homes and retirement villages across Australia. Our goal is simple: paths and parking that residents, families and staff can use safely.

What we mark in aged care

• Accessible parking bays near entrances
• Ambulance bays and drop-off zones
• Walkway edges and pedestrian crossings
• Step and ramp highlights, and kerb painting
• Car park bays, visitor bays and arrows
• Bus and village shuttle bays

High-contrast markings for low vision

Many residents have low vision. A grey kerb on a grey path is easy to miss. A bright edge line is much easier to see.

We mark step edges, kerbs and ramps in colours that stand out from the surface around them. We can also edge walkways so residents can follow the path. For indoor stairs, stair nosings add contrast and grip.

Accessible parking done right

Residents, visitors and staff with a disability need bays they can actually use. Under AS/NZS 2890.6:2009, each accessible bay is 2.4 m wide and 5.4 m long. It needs a 2.4 m shared area beside it, with a bollard. We place bays close to the entrance, on a level path.

The NCC sets how many accessible bays a building needs. For nursing homes, it is one for every 100 car spaces or part of 100. Your certifier confirms the number for your site.

Ambulance and drop-off bays

When an ambulance arrives, every second counts. A clearly marked ambulance bay near the entrance, with bold words and hatching, helps keep it clear of parked cars. A separate drop-off zone gives families a safe place to help residents in and out of cars.

Quiet, low-odour work

Residents live here, so noise and smells matter. We use low-odour, waterborne paints where they suit the surface. We plan the noisiest jobs, like cleaning the surface, for times that suit your routine.

We work in small sections, so paths and entrances stay open. We fence off wet paint and put up clear signs, so residents do not walk through it. Your team will know where we are working each day.

Supporting a safe, accessible home

The new Aged Care Act 2024 and the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards started on 1 November 2025. They expect providers to offer a safe, accessible place to live. Clear walkways, visible edges and usable parking can support that. For more detail, read our aged care line marking guide.

Retirement villages

Retirement villages often have internal roads, visitor parking and bus stops for outings. We mark road centre lines, give-way lines, visitor bays and bus bays, and can fit speed humps to slow traffic. Clear markings help residents who still drive, and help keep walkers safe on shared roads.

How a job runs

• You send photos or a site plan, and tell us about quiet times and areas to avoid
• We send a fixed quote and a plan for which areas we will do each day
• We give you a notice you can share with residents and families
• A local crew does the work in small sections, with wet paint fenced off
• We send photos when we finish

We have done line marking since 2009, and we work across Australia through vetted local contractors.
