To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, a petition to continue free parking at Wollongong Hospital.
With Wollongong Hospital being a major teaching and referral hospital, people as far away as Ulladulla travel to Wollongong Hospital for treatment.
Patients and visitors attending Wollongong Hospital should not have to pay for parking.
Free parking has recently been announced for the Shoalhaven District Memorial Hospital and the same courtesy and service should apply at Wollongong Hospital.
Noting that parking was already free at Wollongong following the COVID-19 pandemic, this should continue rather than imposing an additional cost on travellers, patients and visitors.
We the undersigned citizens request the Legislative Assembly call on the Government and the Minister for Health, Minister for Regional Health, and Minister for the Illawarra and the South Coast to continue free parking at Wollongong Hospital.
