How much does parking cost?
Monash Health lists these visitor car parking rates from 1 July 2026 for Monash Medical Centre, Monash Children’s and Jessie McPherson. The page shows them in a table image, so we have transcribed the column for this hospital.
| Time period | Fee |
|---|---|
| 0 to 15 minutes | Free |
| 15 to 30 minutes | Free |
| 30 to 60 minutes | $11 |
| 1 to 2 hours | $22 |
| 2 to 3 hours | $24 |
| 3 to 4 hours | $27 |
| 4 to 5 hours | $29 |
| 5 to 8 hours | $30 |
| 8+ hours (daily maximum) | $40 |

| Weekly repeat (multi-entry per week) | $74 |
| Lost ticket | $40 |
Discounted daily and weekly repeat tickets are available at the parking pay machines. The visitor car park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is there a cheaper rate?
Yes. A concession parking rate of $11 per visit is available if you present a valid Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, a Centrelink Healthcare Card, or a Veterans Affairs Gold Card (All, War Widow, TPI, POW and EDA). You claim it at Reception, which Monash Health lists as open 7 days, 8.00am to 8.00pm. For patients without a concession card who are in financial hardship, a discounted daily rate may be available, and Monash Health says to speak to the ward Nurse Unit Manager about your circumstances.
Where do I drive in, and what has changed?
Paid car parking for visitors and patients is in the multi-level public car park, to the left as you enter the Monash Medical Centre site from Clayton Road. The car park has a vehicle clearance height of 2.2 metres.
The hospital is undergoing a major upgrade that will add a new 7-storey tower above the emergency department. Monash Health says construction has started, access to the main hospital entrance will change, and the project is expected to be finished in 2029. There is no longer vehicle or pedestrian access between the public multideck car park and Dixon Street, so all vehicle traffic must enter the site through the main entrance from Clayton Road. A new drop-off area for people visiting Monash Children’s Hospital is on Fregon Road.
The parking page still carries an old notice about Clayton Road closing from 27 August 2024 until late October, which we have not used because it refers to 2024.
