Parking, Public Transport and Taxi

PARKING

Parking at the Austin Health is available at an hourly rate in the Austin Tower carpark, entrance from Studley Road, then a 5 minute walk through the hospital to reach the Sleep and Respiratory laboratories. People participating in research projects can park in this carpark for no cost (an exit voucher will be provided). On-street parking is also available in side streets but most is either restricted to 2 hours or it is metered. It can be difficult to find on-street parking during business hours so allow extra time for your visit.

Disabled Parking
For the Sleep and Respiratory laboratories, 2 hour disabled parking is available outside the Harold Stokes Building.  Wheelchair parking is also accessible via the boom-gate from Burgundy Street entrance (you will need to speak into an intercom to get access).

Visit Public Transport Victoria for times and more details about public transport options, otherwise,  Maps and directions to IBAS are available on this website.
