Street Parking Rules Around Wicks Road and North Ryde
The hospital sits at 51 Wicks Road in North Ryde, with campus parking reached via Research Park Drive. Drivers stopping on surrounding streets should follow the posted parking controls, because kerbside spaces are separate from the hospital's free campus car parks.
A street space is not a substitute for an authorised accessible bay, loading area or drop-off point, and stopping restrictions can apply even when a vehicle is occupied.
For a visit involving mobility equipment, a long appointment or a hospital shift, an off-street booking is more dependable than relying on residential kerbside space. Parksy lists spaces between 430 m and 1.2 km from the hospital, including a weekly option 480 m away.
