The QEIIMC Trust has facilitated the increase in parking to the maximum allowable number of 5,350 parking bays across the QEIIIMC Reserve.

5,350 is the maximum number of bays allowed in accordance with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) cap on bay numbers for this site. These bays are made up of:

• Maximum 4,000 staff bays
• 1,200 visitor bays
• 150 special purpose, short term and Accessibility bays

The WAPC has determined the 5,350 parking bay cap at QEIIMC in accordance with State Planning strategies and considerations, providing for accessible, sustainable roadways access into and away from the City of Perth precinct, given the current level of development. WAPC’s determination takes into consideration the current public transport options and looks toward an increase in public transport use in preference to single occupant vehicle use and avoid road saturation.

Parking rates at government hospital facilities are generally determined by their categorisation in accordance with the Metropolitan Access and Parking Strategy (MAPS). The MAPS establishes parking charges for metropolitan health sites. The MAPS is designed to address car parking at Perth metropolitan hospitals and takes into account hospitals’ accessibility in terms of public transport, walking and cycling.

Parking at the QEIIMC campus is subject to contractual arrangements put into place by the former government.

Wilson Parking advise that when visitors perform multiple car park entry and exits on a given day, boom- gated car parks, where possible, should be avoided in favour of Pay by Plate (non-boom-gated) car parks. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, Wilsons will issue refunds for any car parking fees paid in excess of the daily cap.

Whilst parking fees are set by the MAPS (for more information see ‘How are parking rates arrived at?’), at the QEIIMC, the private company International Parking Group (IPG) collects the revenue for parking in exchange for financing the design, build and operations of the Multi Deck Car Park. The Multi Deck Car Park will transfer back to the State in the future under the terms of the agreement between the State and IPG.

Parking fees are collected to assist with covering the costs of building, running and maintaining parking facilities. Fees revenue is also used to recover ongoing costs for items such as road surfacing and repair, line marking, gardens, cleaning, signs, lighting, security, cleaning and administration.

Targeted subsidised parking schemes are in place at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital, Fremantle Hospital, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Perth Children’s Hospital, assessed via the Social Work Departments of each respective hospital.

There are a number of eligibility criteria, including assessment of whether the patient is receiving certain ongoing treatment, consideration of financial difficulty and availability of other suitable transport options. It is important to note that promotion of the subsidised parking is targeted specifically to those who are potentially eligible, so as to not create false expectations.

Each hospital has its own discrete policy, criteria and budget for subsidised parking assessment. To find out more about parking arrangements including fees and charges please contact the respective hospital directly for further assistance and advice.

Wilson Parking provides 24 hour monitoring through CCTV in the Multi Deck Car Park and digital intercoms. Wilson Parking attendants are on site in the Multi Deck Car Park 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Services include monitoring the barrier gates and pay machines.

Outside the Multi Deck Car Park, staff members who have concerns for their safety may call NMHS Security on (08) 6457 2501 or (08) 6457 3860.

For the purpose of the Parking Priority Policy, the term ‘staff’ refers to an employee of any QEIIMC tenant or sub tenant, who spends the majority of their rostered hours working at the QEIIMC. Please note the following:

Any staff member, regardless of their employer may apply for a parking permit. All parking applications will be assessed against the Priority Groups outlined in the Parking Priority Policy. The contract is between the user/applicant and International Parking Group, so the staff member must apply for parking themselves and the Terms and Conditions must be acknowledged and agreed upon by the applicant when applying for a permit or renewing an existing permit.

Approved applicants are subject to the QEIIMC Trust Parking Priority Policy.

All staff who apply for a parking permit will be issued a permit pack (on condition of approval by their Head of Department), however some applicants will have their access restricted e.g. ‘Weekend Only’ access.

Access to parking for QEIIMC staff is applied in a fair, equitable and transparent manner. The level of parking access assigned to your permit will be determined using the QEIIMC Trust Parking Priority Policy categories listed here.

Due to the parking bay cap determined by the Western Australian Planning Comission, the QEIIMC site can only allocate the use of 4000 car bays for staff. As a result, parking cannot be accommodated for all staff applicants across the site and as such parking is prioritised (as outlined in the Priority Parking Policy). Priority Group 3 permit holders have restricted parking which denotes as ‘Weekends Only’. This group would need to seek alternate methods of transport to and from the QEIIMC site. TravelSmart may be able to assist with alternative transport options.

The definition of a Primary Carer can be found here.

If you are have been categorised in Priority Group 3 and you are a Primary Carer, you will need to provide additional supporting documentation to substantiate your claim.

A Statutory Declaration is to be submitted as a variation to an existing staff parking permit or when submitting a new staff parking permit application. Status of parking access will remain until QEIIMC Parking has approved and a notification has been sent. If not approved, access will not be changed.

Primary Carers of children are required to submit a completed Statutory Declaration form to the QEIIMC Parking Department and include the details of the number of children and their respective ages. Without this document, the claimant will remain in Priority Group 3.

Primary Carers of a person with a disability or a long-term health condition are also required to submit a letter from the patient’s doctor detailing the health conditions, living circumstances and the level of care required. Without this supporting document, the claimant will remain in Priority Group 3.

Yes, the QEIIMC has accessible parking bays available for staff with a valid ACROD permit. Staff with ACROD permits will need to apply for a parking permit. Once the staff member has a parking permit they will be advised by the QEIIMC Parking Department which accessible bays they can utilise. Please note having an ACROD permit does not give you free or discounted parking.

No. Students can only park at the staff parking rates if they are working an afternoon or a night shift, otherwise visitor rates will apply.

No. There is no staff parking rate for agency staff (except for Nursewest). Please note all staff need to have a QEIIMC parking permit before they are able to receive parking at the staff rate.

Staff working  regular rostered shifts that require them to start before 7:00am and/or finish after 6:30pm are in Priority Group 1 for parking and will have access to onsite parking. Staff members are encouraged to use public transport where it is available and appropriate.

Yes, International Parking Group is required to reserve 300 bays across the QEIIMC car parks for the afternoon shift – shift change over. These bays are located on the first floor in the Multi Deck Car Park. Any staff member parking on Level 1 prior to 11:00 AM may be issued an infringement notice.

On-call or night duty staff members are in Priority Group 1 and will have access to parking for these shifts. The location of parking is most likely to be the Multi Deck Car Park as it is the closest car park to both SCGH and PCH. Staff are advised to check the permit envelope to see the level of access and where they can park.

At QEIIMC, parking is free for motorcycles and scooters. No permit or registration is needed but please ensure the motorcycle/scooter is parked in a designated motorcycle/scooter bay. Motorcycle/scooter parking is available in:

• The Multi Deck Car Park;
• Car Park 3;
• Car Park 7; and
• in a compound between B and C Blocks.

• When you press ‘Submit’ on your parking application form, you will receive a message confirming that your application has been successfully submitted. When your parking permit (RFID E-Tag) has been created and activated, you will receive an email confirming the parking permit is ready for collection from the Wilson Parking office located on the ground floor of the Multi Deck Car Park and the steps you need to follow to set up your parking account. Email notification must be presented upon collection.
• You will not receive an email if you have not included an email address in your application form. If you want to check the progress of your application or the availability of your E-Tag, you can contact the QEIIMC Parking Department on (08) 6457 1787.
• If you have applied for parking and have not had a response after 4 business days please contact the Parking Department to check the status of your application.

No. Your permit must be approved by your Head of Department and a permit must be collected in order to receive the staff rates. We recommend that new staff apply for a staff parking permit prior to their commencement date. Staff rates will not be issued before collection of permit under any circumstance. It remains the responsibility of the individual staff member to complete the Parking Permit Application process and collect their permit before they require parking. Refunds will not be issued for visitor rates paid prior to receiving a staff permit

• Each staff member is notified via email, mail or is instructed upon collection of their parking permit which car park they have been assigned to.
• If you are unsure which car park you have access to you can contact the QEII Medical Centre Parking Department on (08) 6457 1787.
• Access into a car park other than what has been assigned is prohibited (unless redirected by Wilson Parking or the QEIIMC Parking Department).
• Staff attempting to park in areas other than their assigned allocation may be issued with an infringement notice and/or have their parking access terminated.

Due to the restrictions that are in place across the QEIIMC site the Priority Parking Policy is the benchmark for all applications to be based on and as such there is no appeal system in place. The QEII Parking Department assess every parking application that has been approved by your Head of Department and assign parking access in accordance to the Priority Groups outlined in the Priority Parking Policy.

If you have completed your online application form incorrectly, you are welcome to re-submit a new online application. Ensure that you complete all questions truthfully and take special note to read any details or conditions that may appear in the application steps throughout the questionnaire.

If you are a Primary Carer, you will need to submit a Statutory Declaration form stating that you are the Primary Carer, who you are a Primary Carer for, respective ages and the nature of your care. NB: Status of parking access will remain until the Statutory Declaration has been assessed, approved and a notification has been sent to you with your updated parking allocation. If not approved, access will not be changed.

Regular audits are conducted by the QEIIMC Parking Department for existing parkers in attempt to apply fairness and equitability. If you know of any colleagues or staff members that you believe to have been issued everyday parking access that appears to be outside of the Policy, you can email the Parking Department and note your observations so they may be taken into consideration. Any information we receive will be treated as strictly confidential. Similarly, no information about the parker you are informing the Parking Department of will be issued to the enquirer.

Email: Qeii.parking@health.wa.gov.au

Travelling off campus is not taken into consideration as part of the Parking Priority Policy and your parking access would remain the same. If your position requires you to travel between sites; transport will need to be arranged by your department e.g. use of available fleet vehicles or by a taxi voucher.

Staff can submit an email request to request a change in their parking access. The email should include your current parking location, the name of the carpark you wish to be moved to and reasoning for wanting to be relocated. The Parking Department will assess the availability and if there is no space available, the staff member will be placed on a waiting list.

Email: Qeii.parking@health.wa.gov.au

It remains the responsibility of staff to be aware of the parking area that they have been assigned and park accordingly within the timeframes permitted. This information is found on the envelope of the permit upon collection and is also send in your permit notification. If you are unsure, please contact the Parking Department.

If staff attempt to park outside of permitted times or in areas not permitted, they will be directed out of the staff carpark by a Wilson Parking attendant via the intercom. Wilson Parking send notifications through to the QEIIMC Parking Department and subsequent warnings are issued to non-compliant staff parkers. Continual misuse will result in your permit being revoked indefinitely.

If a staff member is seen to be taking a visitors ticket, vehicle details are recorded and reported to the Parking Department. Penalties do apply and no tolerance is given.

It is not recommended that staff park in visitor bays as this affects the amount of staff bays we can have. For example, if more staff park as visitors, we will need to decrease staff parking capacity and increase visitor parking capacity.

If staff need to attend the QEIIMC site for personal reasons, they are required to pay the visitor parking fees and park in a ‘Pay by Plate’ car park and purchase a visitor ticket from a nearby pay station and clearly display a valid ticket on the dashboard.

Staff members who are granted a parking permit are issued an RFID tag for their vehicle. Staff members parking in visitor parking can be identified by the RFID tag on the staff member’s vehicle. Parking attendants monitor staff and visitor parking seven days a week. Infringements may apply for incorrect usage of a parking permit.

No. Parking access is granted according to priority and the number of available bays. The number of people wishing to park onsite at any particular time may vary, and as such, a parking bay cannot be guaranteed. This is a condition outlined in the Parking Permit Application Terms and Conditions.

Instructional videos are available relating to staff parking and how to use E-Tags. You can view them here.

A RFID E-Tag is a barcoded sticker containing RFID technology which is to be placed on your windscreen. The RFID will scan upon entry to the staff car park once your permit has been activated. Entry to the carpark is granted once the RFID has been scanned providing the permit is active, the account has a positive balance, and access to that area is permitted.

Please view our instructional videos relating to staff parking and correct use of a staff permit for more information. 

• Make sure you are parking in your designated car park at the appropriate time(s).

This should help your E-Tag work again.
• In a couple of days if the problem persists, please contact Wilson Parking and ask one of the Wilson attendants to check your E-Tag to see if it is faulty. If they confirm that your E-Tag is faulty ask them for a replacement E-Tag.

• E-Tags should be displayed horizontally in the top left of the passenger side of the front windscreen.
• If your vehicle has tinting on the windscreen, the E-Tag should be positioned below the tinting.
