Concession parking at Peter Mac

Which cards do I have to hold for concession parking?

The following valid concession cards make you eligible for concession parking:

• Pensioner Concession Card
• Health Care Card
• Repatriation Health Card
• Department of Veterans’ Affairs Health Card
• Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.

Can I get concession parking without a concession card?

A patient (or their carer) who is attending Peter Mac for appointments over 3 or more days within a 7 day period is also eligible for the concession parking rate.

A patient (or their carer) who are experiencing difficulty meeting the cost of parking may also be entitled to the concession parking rate. If you are seeking concession parking assistance, without a concession card, you will be referred to the Social Work department for assessment. If approved, you will receive a letter of authorisation, which you will need to present at the cashier to receive concession rates.

Speak to the Peter Mac staff about a referral for concession parking.
