High parking rates of $25 per day at Monash Health hospitals for students are causing financial hardship and also the majority are not parking in the hospital car parks but parking in the surrounding streets thus filling up residential streets with student cars which annoys residents and ends up leading to students receiving parking tickets by council officers .  In these COVID-19 present times Monash Health should be showing consideration and compassion by providing parking for students at the same rates as permanent hospital staff are paying per day.
