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.
Opening hours
The car park is open everyday, 6am - 9pm.
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.
Even if the car park is closed, cars can still leave the car park. The shutters will open once you've validated your ticket at the boom gates near the exit.

If you cannot use stairs
There are no lifts in the car park - if you are not able to use the stairs, try parking on level 2 of the car park, which goes directly through to the ground level entrance for the hospital.
If you need to drop off or pick up a patient, use the drop off point near the car park office on level 2. Access to this area is via the intercom located at the staff entry gate. Press the intercom button and ask to be let through.
Disabled parking
There are disabled parking bays in the car park. You can use the drop off point near the car park cashier's window on level 2 of the car park. Wheelchairs can be borrowed from the volunteer’s desk in the hospitals' central lift foyer if you need one.
Limited parking is available for people with a disabled parking permit outside the main entrance in Grattan Street.
Street parking
Street parking is available in the surrounding streets and is metered Monday through to Saturday afternoon. Check signs for details. The Street Parking in Melbourne app for Android and iOS can also assist with parking restrictions for local streets.
