    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 dates of birth 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.

    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.

    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.
