Many Queensland public hospital healthcare workers pay thousands of dollars a year just to park at work. We're calling on the Queensland Government to introduce free or significantly subsidised parking for frontline staff.
Queensland Hospital Watch believes the people who care for our communities shouldn’t be burdened by excessive parking costs simply to attend work.
Across Queensland, many public hospital healthcare workers pay thousands of dollars each year to park at their workplace — and for many, those costs keep rising despite cost-of-living pressures.
Healthcare workers dedicate their careers to caring for others, often working long shifts, overnight hours, weekends and public holidays. They deserve a workplace that supports them, not one that adds unnecessary financial strain.
This campaign calls on the Queensland Government to review public hospital parking policies and introduce free or significantly subsidised parking for frontline healthcare workers.
