Fiona Stanley Hospital Parking: Car Park 1 or Car Park 5, $3 an Hour, the $21 Daily Cap and What a Fine Means (Perth, WA)

If you are driving to Fiona Stanley Hospital, aim for Car park 1 or Car park 5. Those are the two visitor car parks named on the hospital’s own page, and parking costs $3.00 an hour (or part of an hour) up to $21.00 for the day. The page was updated for a building project, so the places people used to park may not be the places the hospital wants visitors to use now.

This guide uses the Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospitals Group (FSFHG) pages on parking and transport and on parking infringement notices, checked on Saturday 7 November 2026. Perth uses Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8), with no daylight saving.

Why did the parking change?

Construction is under way for the new Women and Babies Hospital inside the Fiona Stanley Hospital precinct. As part of that project the hospital says planning is under way to expand parking with two new multi-deck car parks. The hospital says visitor parking “recently changed”, and it asks people to plan ahead and allow extra time. Parking officers are meant to be at car park entrances to help.

The hospital has 2,300 parking bays in undercover and open-air car parks at the eastern and western ends of the hospital. Only some of them are for visitors.

Which car park should I use?

Car park	What the hospital says
Car park 1	Closest to the main hospital entrance; the only car park with designated motorbike bays
Car park 5 (ground floor, levels 1 and 2)	Direct access to the State Rehabilitation Service and the main hospital via the Level 2 footbridge

Use the hospital’s site map page to see where the car parks sit before you leave. The hospital’s page mentions footbridges from car parks 2 and 5, but it names only Car park 1 and Car park 5 as visitor parking.

How much does it cost, and how do I pay?

Item	Amount (as of November 2026)
Visitor parking	$3.00 per hour (or part of an hour)
Daily maximum	$21.00 per day

“Or part of an hour” means a 20-minute stop is charged as a full hour. You pay at the pay stations inside or near each car park. The hospital’s page does not say whether you must pay before or after you return to the car, so read the pay station before you walk away.

Can I get cheaper parking for repeat treatment?

Some patients can. The hospital says patients who must attend for the same treatment over a long period may be eligible for subsidised parking. It names hyperbaric, renal and cancer services patients and cystic fibrosis patients who have explored all alternative means of transport. Approved patients receive discounted parking, and the hospital tells people to speak to the treating nursing staff.

There is also a concession for families and carers of long-stay rehabilitation patients who have been in hospital at the State Rehabilitation Service for 10 days or more. Ask the ward staff about that one.

What about disabled parking, motorbikes and tall vehicles?

• ACROD bays are in the visitor car parks, closest to the pedestrian access ways. A valid ACROD permit must be clearly displayed.
• Motorbikes use the designated bays in Car park 1 only.
• Oversized vehicles (higher than 2.2 metres) can park only for State Rehabilitation Service patients and visitors, and only on request. Contact the State Rehabilitation Service staff before you arrive.
• Wheelchairs: the hospital suggests being dropped off at the set-down point at the main entrance, near Jamaica Blue, where reception staff and volunteers can help.

Is there a short-stay drop-off?

Yes. There are several short-term patient set-down areas on the campus. The one with direct access to the main entrance is off Robin Warren Drive and is marked by red bitumen. There is also a set-down area in front of the Transit Lounge at the east entrance and one outside the State Rehabilitation Service. If the walk across the campus is hard going, the hospital runs a courtesy buggy when it is available. It circles all the car parks. You can ask a passing volunteer, use the call buttons at pay machines and on the bridges from car parks 2 and 5, or phone the Fiona Stanley Hospital Helpdesk on 6152 2222 and ask for the Outpatient Transport Supervisor.

Is the train an easier way in?

The hospital calls itself a 10-minute walk from Murdoch train station, with buses running regularly between the station and the hospital. Bus stops are on Barry Marshall Parade and Fiona Wood Road, and taxi ranks are on Barry Marshall Parade and Robin Warren Drive. Bike racks are outside the main entry and the eastern entry of the main hospital. For your own trip, use Transperth or phone 13 62 13. Our guide to Transperth fares and Go Anywhere tickets covers what the ticket costs, and the Sunday rule is in our free Sunday travel guide.

Some veteran patients may have transport arranged by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs; the hospital gives 1800 550 455 for that.

What if I park on the street or get a parking fine?

All street parking in and around the hospital site is managed by local government, and fines apply for illegal parking, so follow the signs. On the hospital’s own land, an authorised officer can issue a parking infringement notice to any vehicle parked in breach of the Health Services (Conduct and Traffic) Regulations 2016. The Fremantle Hospital Parking Department handles notices for Fiona Stanley Hospital, Fremantle Hospital and Rockingham Hospital. The hospital says notices are part of a legal process and should not be ignored.

If you get a notice, the hospital lists four options:

1. Pay the modified penalty by credit card on 9431 3733, 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday, or by BPay using the biller code on the notice. Paying is not treated as an admission in a court case. If you need more time, phone the same number.
2. Say you were not the driver by completing a statutory declaration in front of an authorised witness with the driver’s name and address, or showing the vehicle was stolen or unlawfully used, and posting it to the Fremantle Hospital Parking Department, P Block, 2 Alma Street, Fremantle WA 6160.
3. Dispute the notice in writing with the appeal form, submitted on or before the due date to avoid enforcement action and additional fees.
4. Elect to go to court, by completing the “Election to go to Court” section on the notice and posting it to the same address. The hospital calls this your final option, because costs may be incurred if the court finds against you.

How do I plan the trip?

1. Choose Car park 1 for the main hospital or Car park 5 for the State Rehabilitation Service.
2. Allow extra time, because the hospital says the parking is changing.
3. Budget $3.00 for each hour or part of an hour, to a $21.00 daily cap.
4. If you will be back for repeat treatment, ask the nursing staff about the parking subsidy.
5. If a fine arrives, deal with it before the due date.
