Student Carparking at Monash Health
Following a review of student car parking at all of its
campuses, Monash Health is standardising parking costs for students on all of
its sites. Monash Health advised that parking rates had not increased for many
years, and that there was inequity not only in regards to rates across
campuses, but also rates across student cohorts (e.g.some student groups paying
markedly more than others on the same campus). New applications for student car
parking submitted between now and the end of the year will be charged an
interim rate of $2.50 per day for the remainder of 2015. This rate will
increase to $5 per day as of 1st January 2016, to align with the rates at other
Monash Health sites.
