Find The Best Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Parking Near You

Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) is one of the largest hospitals in the country, providing world-class healthcare to thousands of patients on any given day. But the hospital’s on-site parking is limited and can’t keep up with demand from staff, patients, and visitors. For a cheaper and easier option, use Parkhound to pre-book a nearby parking space. Just browse, book, and park!

Located right next to the University of Sydney and just 3 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, RPA is a major public teaching hospital located in Camperdown. It’s one of the most comprehensive hospitals in Australia, providing a full range of specialist services, from cancer care and transplant surgery to emergency treatment and maternity support.

RPA is estimated to see around 45,000 emergency visits each year, or 120 to 130 per day. It’s also estimated to service 500,000 outpatient appointments annually, which averages to over 1,300 outpatient visits per weekday. Adding that on top of the 4,000 staff and students on site, demand for parking around RPA remains consistently high throughout the week.

While RPA offers several on-site parking facilities, these tend to fill up quickly, especially during peak clinic hours. Street parking nearby is mostly limited to 1- or 2-hour zones without a permit, and drop-off areas (especially near emergency and clinic entrances) are often congested or blocked. To avoid the stress of finding parking at RPA, many visitors choose to pre-book a space nearby with Parkhound. You can find both daily and monthly parking options, so it’s easy to choose what works best for you.

Whether you're visiting for an appointment, supporting someone during treatment, or working at the hospital, Parkhound makes it easy to secure a nearby space. We offer parking on Missenden Road, Carillon Avenue, and Mallett Street, all just a short walk from RPA.

How much is monthly parking near RPA?

The average price for monthly parking near RPA is around $350. Prices can vary widely depending on the exact location, whether the space is reserved or unreserved, nearby amenities, security features, and how popular the area is. But you can still find options from around $200 per month if you're open to nearby suburbs or outdoor spaces.

These monthly rates are significantly cheaper than daily parking, which can reach up to $40 per day with council-run or commercial car parks. Parkhound’s listings are often up to 30% cheaper than traditional operators, especially if you’re booking long-term parking.
