    An RFID (E-Tag) is a barcoded sticker containing RFID technology which is to be placed on your windscreen. The E-Tag will scan upon entry to the staff car park once your permit has been activated. Entry to the carpark is granted once the E-Tag has been scanned providing the permit is active, the account has a positive balance, and access to that area is permitted. The RFID (E-Tag) system at QEIIMC is designed specifically to streamline access for staff members. This system facilitates automatic vehicle identification at parking entry and exit points, significantly reducing wait times.

    Attaching your E-Tag

    Staff members are required to attach the E-Tag to their vehicle as per the instructions provided in their parking permit pack. Proper placement is crucial for ensuring the E-Tag functions correctly at all entry and exit points of the parking facility.

    • E-Tags should be displayed horizontally in the top left of the passenger side of the front windscreen or in the middle of the windscreen just below your rearview mirror.
    • If your vehicle has tinting on the windscreen, the E-Tag should be positioned below the tinting.
    • Once attached, do not reposition the E-Tag as this will damage the E-Tag and a replacement will need to be purchased from the Wilson Parking Office (located on the ground floor of the Multi-Deck Car Park) at a cost of $20.00.

    Managing Your Parking Account

    Managing the staff parking account is an important aspect for staff at QEIIMC. This account management includes keeping track of parking usage and ensuring the account is adequately funded for uninterrupted access.

    • Online Account Management: The E-Tag system is accompanied by an online portal where staff can manage their parking accounts. This portal allows for monitoring parking usage, viewing transaction history, and topping up the account balance.
    • Top-Up and Balance Check: Regularly topping up the parking account ensures continuous access to parking facilities. Staff can check their balance and add funds as needed through the online system. Staff will not be granted access to the Car Park if they have insufficient funds in the account. Please ensure the account has funds at all times.
    • Link for Account Management: To manage your E-Tag account, including balance checks and top-ups, staff can visit the Parking Account Management Portal.

    I'm having trouble with a smart parker kiosk. any ideas?

    Show less
    Dropdown icon

    The kiosk won’t take my money, what do I do?

    If you have selected “add cash” and the machine is not accepting your note please examine the colour of the lights around the note reader;

    If they are flashing green then everything should be okay, please try and carefully reinsert the note as the machine is sensitive to crumpled or damaged notes. Do not force your money in the machine or it will jam the machine.

    How do I know if there is a note jam?

    If you have already selected “add cash” and the lights around the note reader remain a solid red then there is likely a note jam. Please try one of the other machines and contact the Parking Department to advise that the machines are not taking cash.

    What do I do if I inserted money into the kiosk but the funds were not added to my account?

    Send an email to International Parking Group at admin@parkingid.com.au and advise them the amount of money you added, which kiosk it was at and the date and time you added the funds. Request the money be refunded back into your parking account.

    Why does it say my card is not on the system when I swipe it at the kiosks?

    Please make sure you are not scanning the Smart Parker card together with your staff ID badge as they may have the same frequency. If the problem is not resolved please contact the Parking Department to ensure that your Smart Parker card is activated for the kiosks.
