Limited parking is available in the RMH City Campus car park. The car park is open 7 days a week, 6am to 9pm. If you are a regular visitor, a reduced parking rate is available.
The car park fills quickly early in the day, so consider visiting later in the day (if you can), using one of the other local car parks or using public transport to come to the hospital:
The entrance to the car park is on Royal Parade. Look for the Greenco Parking sign.
Metro Tunnel project
Construction of the Metro Tunnel may cause some delays for you coming to or leaving the hospital.
Grattan Street east remains closed to traffic between Royal Parade and Leicester Street. The next phase of construction involves service relocation works commencing on Grattan Street west between Royal Parade and Flemington Road and on Royal Parade/Elizabeth Street from late August 2019 to early 2020. There will be changes to traffic conditions in the area with staged lane closures and diversions in place.
Please visit the Metro Tunnel website before you travel to get up to date information on road closures.

If you need help, the car park office is staffed Monday - Friday, 7am - 8:30pm, except public holidays. An intercom button is available 24 hours a day at the entrance and exits to the car park.
