NT Parks Pass for National Parks and Reserves

Visitors to the Northern Territory require a parks pass to visit most of the national parks and reservices in the Northern Territory. Residents of NT do not require a parks pass, but may have to present proof of residency, such as a valid NT driver’s license.

Some parks are not managed by Northern Territory, in particular, Kakadu National Park and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. They are managed nationally by Parks Australia and require passes to be acquired through them.
