  • it is the Hospital policy that your car keys be handed to staff and secured for safe-keeping
  • the decision to allow you access to your car and keys is dependent on your clinical presentation and in consultation with your psychiatrist, and is conditional on you returning your keys immediately on your return.
  • the Hospital cannot ensure on-site parking for your vehicle
  • patients are requested not to park in 'Doctors Only' designated parking bays.
  • the designated Disabled Parking space is for drop-off and pick-up only. Inpatients with Disabled Parking permits are not to park in these parking bays.

The Hospital discourages patients from driving and leaving their vehicles here while an inpatient. If driving, patients do so at their own risk and agree that cars are parked at their own risk without any responsibility on the part of the Hospital for loss or damage to vehicles or persons.
