Parking for the City Campus

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:

• Yarra Trams
• Public Transport Victoria (PTV)

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.

From Friday 14 February 2020 for up to five weeks the following changes will be in place during service relocation works (services include such things as: sewer, telecommunications, water, power, traffic signals, drainage and gas):

• Grattan Street, between Flemington Road and Elizabeth Street/Royal Parade, will be closed
• Additional closures on the Elizabeth Street/Royal Parade northbound service lane may be in place on weekends
• Access to Grattan Street drop-off/pick-up, disability parking, and taxi zones will be maintained via Flemington Road
• Traffic management and signage will be in place to safely guide pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles around the work areas
• Access for emergency services, hospitals, and businesses will be maintained at all times

Grattan Street westbound lanes will remain closed for three years to facilitate further construction works.

This video explains changes to traffic and transport and alternative routes to hospital car parks and Grattan Street for service relocations:

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.
