Our commitment to providing high-quality and person-centred care ensures your stay is as comfortable as possible.
The University of Canberra Hospital (UCH) is a dedicated and purpose-built rehabilitation facility. We provide care and support for people over the age of 18 who are experiencing mental illness or recovering from surgery, illness or injury. You must have a referral to attend UCH.
Our rehabilitation centre is the largest in the ACT and surrounding region, with 140 inpatient beds, 75-day places and additional outpatient services.
As we are a rehabilitation facility, we don’t have an Emergency Department and do not perform surgical operations.
Please call 000 or go directly to the Emergency Department at the Calvary Public Hospital or Canberra Hospital if you need emergency care.
Access Mental Health provides a 24-hour, seven day a week service used for assessment and treatment of mentally ill people in crisis situations.
Parking at the University of Canberra Hospital
The University of Canberra Hospital provides free car parking facilities for visitors, carers, patients and staff.
Parking for patients and their visitors is provided within Basement (P3) Carpark. Visitors and patients who are unable to find a park in Basement (P3) can source parking in the Multi-storey (P1) Carpark.
A number of mobility, short-term and set-down parking spaces are provided at the Hospital’s main entry, off Guraguma Street Bruce.
Upon entering either P3 or P1 car parks, drivers will be prompted to take a parking ticket at the Boom Gate. Patients and their visitors are able to validate their parking tickets at no charge prior to departure. This ticket can then be used to exit the car park at the boom gate.
There are three validation points at UCH:
- Main Hospital Reception
- Mental Health Reception
- Brindabella Rehabilitation Centre Reception or
- Faculty of Health (UC Use only)
Unauthorised users accessing UCH car parks who have no affiliation with UCH, will in the future be charged an exit fee of $20.00 for using the car park. Payment can be made at ticket payment machines located in the Basement lift foyer or at the boom gate, upon exit.
A map of all car parks is available here.
