Queensland Children’s Hospital Car Parks and Concessions
The hospital has three public car parks in South Brisbane, including the Queensland Children’s Hospital basement car park and the Hancock Street car park (childrens.health.qld.gov.au). The hospital’s address is 501A Stanley Street, South Brisbane QLD 4101. These facilities are the most direct choice for appointments, admissions and visiting close to the building.
Patients and carers who attend frequently can use concessional parking administered by the Social Work and Welfare department, with a $12 daily pass or a $100 monthly pass (friendlyfaces.info). The public car parks are free according to Children’s Health Queensland (childrens.health.qld.gov.au). The basement car park and Hancock Street car park provide the hospital’s own parking access, while the hospital site should be used for accessible parking closest to clinical areas.
Arriving for Drop-Off and Emergency Care at the Hospital
For a child’s appointment or admission, driving to the hospital’s public car parks keeps the vehicle near the South Brisbane campus. The basement car park is at the hospital, while the Hancock Street car park provides another public option identified by Children’s Health Queensland (childrens.health.qld.gov.au).
Drive to the emergency department access shown by hospital signs and leave the vehicle in a car park rather than stopping in an access lane. The hospital is served by three public car parks in South Brisbane (friendlyfaces.info), giving visitors an alternative when the closest entry is busy.
Street Parking and Residential Rules Near Stanley Street
The hospital sits on Stanley Street in South Brisbane, near Highgate Hill, where hospital traffic shares streets with residents, businesses and public transport. Parking directly outside the campus may be affected by signed restrictions, loading areas, clearways and access requirements.
Do not use residential driveways, hospital access lanes, emergency access points or marked no-stopping areas for waiting or visiting. A legal street space can still be a poor choice for a long appointment if the sign limits the stay or applies during weekday periods. For a visit with an uncertain finish time, an off-street space is more practical than relying on a short-stay kerbside bay.
