STOP PAID PARKING at Wyong Hospital

Comments

#2

I’m signing because I live too far from public transport and have no other option but to drive to work. With the cost of living already at a rise along with everything else increasing, I will not be able to afford to pay for parking. We live in a low socioeconomic area and patients and their families are also in the same boat. 2019 we fought against paid parking - why are we here again fighting the same fight we already won!

Paid parking at wyong would be an extra expense for those currently struggling with the cost of living. Parking options at wyong are extremely limited and parking elsewhere poses a safety risk for all staff and visitors.

I'm signing because this proposal is grossly unfair to staff and patient visitors. Wyong Hospital is in a lower socio economic area which will result in no cost options being sort out, posing threats to personal safety.

I do not support the paid parking at Wyong hospital

All hospitals should be free parking for staff, visitors, patients.

It’s an absolute load of crap that they now make you pay, more revenue.

I don’t think people should pay for parking at a public hospital.

It’s ridiculous to slug people with a fee just for comforting their loved ones in their time of need. This is not Sydney!

I’m a nurse and understand the stress that comes before a shift searching for limited parking. With the rising cost of living paying out more money to go to work, when many nurses are doing extra shifts to cope seems ludicrous.

It’s the right thing to do!

Wyong is a regional hospital with very limited public transport for both workers and community.
This paid parking was fought against back in 2019 due the negative impact it would have on not only on workers at the hospital but also the community.
It is absolutely disgusting that the community and hospital workers have to fight the same battle again when the circumstances have not changed.

Healthcare needs to be accessible to everyone. Health workers should never have to pay to work and care for community or pay to save our lives

Should not have to pay at a hospital

This is simple money-grabbing.

Perry Gretton (Long Jetty, 2023-11-06)

I do not agree with the government making Wyong Hospital parking to paid parking as well as having no street parking available for staff, patients & visitors. This will impact so many Central Coast people.

I work in the disability sector and my clients often attend hospital. We need to support these guys sometimes while in Wyong Hospital. Free parking allows this to happen. Our clients cannot afford to pay for parking.

It's a bloody disgrace

David Falconer (Hamlyn Terrace , 2023-11-06)

We live in Kanwal and the congestion around school times is already heavy, if we add in 100s of people parking so they can skip the fee just to go to work or can’t afford to park when needing medical treatment the streets are going to get chaotic.
The hospital is stand alone and people are not parking there for any other reason than medical. Say no!

Jenna McCamley (Kanwal , 2023-11-06)

The people near to the hospital will not be able to afford visiting their realty with the extra coat of parking. Staff retention will be worse thzz as ever, many folk will just go to Belmont with free parking

Nurses should not have to pay for parking at work. This is very unfair

My husband is a regular patient & I would not be able to afford to continue to visit him.

No one should have to worry about paying for parking in a medical emergency

Angela Goulding (Killarney Vale, 2023-11-06)

As being a pensioner cannot afford parking on top of whatever else I have to pay

Gail Scott (Wyong, 2023-11-06)

It’s ridiculous to charge people to park at hospitals, especially staff! And I live a street away and don’t want it clogged with people who should be parking at the hospital

Daniel McCamley (Kanwal, 2023-11-06)

It’s unacceptable to charge people money to attend their workplace or to charge people money when they are sick or when their loved ones are sick.

I am signing this petition because I work at Wyong hospital on night shift and am on a low pay rate. Recently we received a 4% pay increase and now that is going to be taken away plus more if we are forced to pay for parking to work at Wyong hospital. This hospital was build on funds raised by the local community which I am a part of and it was always meant to be parking free. We do not have adequate public transport on the coast, so we have no other option but to park in the hospital grounds. My colleagues and myself contribute to provide and important service to our local community, but if we are forced to pay for parking, then we will end up having to look for other employment. If this outrageous proposal goes ahead, then I and many other people will vote against the Labor I the next state election.

I’m signing this because it is is not fair for the workers, doctors and people who have to stay overnight!

Taryn Pritchard (Sydney , 2023-11-06)

Parking when your sick or visiting sick relatives should be free . We pay enough taxes and medical fees without the added cost to park . Just greedy

Julie Allan (Lake munmorah, 2023-11-06)

It's costly enough if you have to use the Doctors at this facility without the added costs of parking. Also if a person is in need of a stay the best recover is to have a relative or friend to visit. Payed parking deters this. Last but not least a hospital cannot work without it's staff be they the the Doctors nurses ambos wards-people office staff or cleaners. Everybody deserves the right to FREE PARKING at any hospital.

Employees and patients shouldn’t have to pay for parking, especially in a place of need and emergency.

Hospitals should be free.

I have been a visitor, in patient and been to the outpatient clinics at Wyong hospital, it is always hard enough to find a parking spot now at the hospital. To justify a charge they would need to build a multi storey carpark and offer a free safe off site parking alternative.

I'm signing because hospital car parks should be free for all. Waiting times are very long and now money tighter than ever.

Peter Ryall (Mannering park, 2023-11-07)

As an employee at Wyong hospital there is no alternative to driving and walking to my car on the atreet at night is dangerous. We work hard and deserve free parking. Our patients are from low socioeconomic back grounds and car barley pay for basic needs parking will add extra pressure on the community

Tiffany Markham (Geandalan , 2023-11-07)

Public hospital parking should always be free and not outsourced to corporate giants

Hayden Tonnet (Gorokan, 2023-11-07)

You shouldn’t have to pay to park at work, I bet the executive won’t have to pay.

David Blackaby (Sydney, 2023-11-07)

#144

We shouldn’t have to pay for car parking when it’s a rural hospital, and the cost of living is already hard enough on families. It’s unfair and unethical. Just another money making grab. Enough is enough. Stop taking advantage of everyday people, these bullying tactics from the powers to be make us all sick.

Jafrica Barletta (Wyong , 2023-11-07)

As a health care worker you should not be expected to pay for parking

Kirstie Wellard (Lake Munmorah , 2023-11-07)

#147

Parking should be free we are a low socioeconomic area with a high ageing population who just can’t afford parking when they are sick due to the cost of living

Carly Geerin (Mannering Park, 2023-11-07)

#149

I work at the hospital and I don’t believe as a low income earner I should be charged to go to work.

Craig Fisher (Blue Haven, 2023-11-07)

We should not have to pay for parking

Tegan Munro (Kanwal, 2023-11-07)

#167

I'm signing this to show my support for my community and fellow hospital staff employees. This tender is nothing but a blatant money grab and is by no means "caring for the coast".

Dan Peirce (Toukley , 2023-11-07)

#168

We are a regional hospital and shouldn't have to pay

Danielle Finneran (Wyongah, 2023-11-07)

It is not an option for staff not to park their cars.
The infrastructure does not allow to travel to work in public transport.

Irene Freeman (Long Jetty, 2023-11-08)

A family member works at Wyong Hospital. They cannot use public transport so they should not have to pay to park.

Jen Peirce (Taree , 2023-11-08)

The last thing people should worry about after bringing someone to the hospital is paying a bill.

Noah Jones (Wyong , 2023-11-08)

I am directly affected by this.

I don’t believe Drs, Nurses, patients etc should have to pay for their work parking.
To hear the executives have under cover parking and DONT have to pay and this makes me livid.

Inequity of paying fees to come to work.

Parking should be free for staff

Hannah Clifton (Forresters beach , 2023-11-08)

#196

I’m signing because this community is struggling already. Having people pay when there are obvious health concerns at play is a gross imposition on those already struggling. Do better:
