Parking at Northern Beaches Hospital is free for the first 30 minutes and capped at $25.80 a day, according to the NSW Health hospital parking app as of Tuesday 10 November 2026. The app says the multi-storey car park charges “at the standard rate for car parking in NSW hospitals, with the usual discounts”. This guide sets out the rates, the access roads, the concession rates and the options by train, bus and taxi.
How much does parking cost at Northern Beaches Hospital?
| Time parked | Public rate |
|---|---|
| 0 to 30 minutes | Free |
| 30 minutes to 1 hour | $8.70 |
| 1 to 2 hours | $12.80 |
| 2 to 3 hours | $17.30 |
| 3 to 4 hours | $20.10 |
| 4 to 5 hours | $23.20 |
| 5 hours or more | $25.80 |
| Maximum daily fee | $25.80 |
The app lists the parking as open 24 hours. It gives the hospital’s main number, (02) 9105 5000, and no separate car park number.
Where do I park and get dropped off?
The app says parking is available within the multi-storey car park on site, and that the car park can be reached from Frenchs Forest Road West or Warringah Road. It says there are limited disabled parking spaces in the car park and in the patient drop-off and pick-up areas near the main entrance. It gives no number of spaces and no height limit.
Who pays the concession rate, and how much?
NSW Health says reduced parking fees are available to eligible patients and carers at every NSW public hospital where fees apply. The concession rates the app lists for Northern Beaches Hospital are:
| Concession ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| 0 to 3 hours | Free |
| Between 3 and 24 hours | $7.20 |
| 3-day ticket | $14.40 |
| 7-day ticket | $28.80 |
Compare a five-hour stay: $25.80 at the public rate and $7.20 on the concession. The app links to NSW Health’s standard eligibility list, which on the app’s pages for other NSW hospitals reads as follows:
- patients and their carers who require treatment over a period of time
- patients and their carers attending more than twice weekly, including carers of long-term patients who visit frequently
- holders of a Mobility Parking Scheme permit
- holders of a Gold Veterans Affairs Card
- holders of a Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card
- ongoing cancer treatment patients
- cardiac rehabilitation education and exercise class attendees
- health promotion education class attendees
- daily dressing outpatients
Patients and carers who are experiencing financial hardship but do not meet those categories are also entitled to concessional parking, says the app. For how to claim, the app says to refer to the enquiries desk at the hospital. The discounts do not apply to metered street parking or pre-paid parking, and you must park in a NSW public hospital car park that offers and displays concessional rates.
How do I get there by train, bus or taxi?
| Way to arrive | What the app says |
|---|---|
| Train | Chatswood and Roseville are the nearest railway stations |
| Bus | Sydney Buses and Frenchs Forest Coach Lines run regular services between Chatswood or Sydney and the Northern Beaches via the hospital |
| Taxi | No taxi rank at the hospital; bookings are recommended at reception |
The app does not give bus route numbers or distances from the two stations, so use the Transport for NSW trip planner for the connection. For trip times and fares, the app points to the Transport for NSW website and the information line, 131 500, and our guide to Opal fares and how to pay covers what a trip costs. For taxi bookings, including wheelchair accessible taxis, the app lists Taxis Combined on 133 300, and it also lists the Taxi Transport Subsidy Scheme with a link to the Service NSW page.
