All of our campuses have metered parking areas which can be used by visitors, staff and students.
There are two ways to pay for your parking, either pay-by-app or at a parking meter.
Please check our campus maps for the locations of designated metered parking areas. These are indicated in a pink colour.
If you are a Monash student or staff member, please refer to the parking information on our Pay As You Use page for information on parking in permit areas on campus.
Pay-by-App
The easiest way to pay for parking is to use the CellOPark app. You are in control to start and stop your parking sessions, so you only need to pay for the time you park.
If you don't have a smartphone, you can also visit the website or register by phone.
Download the CellOPark app from the App store or Google Play. If you are connected to Eduroam, you may need to turn off your WiFi to download the app.
Enter your mobile number.
Complete the registration details: name, email & postcode Visitors: leave the Institute and ID fields blank
If you select Premium reminders there is a monthly fee.
Create password: enter the SMS code & create your password.
Set up your credit, debit or pre-paid card.
Select Add Vehicle and enter your vehicle registration plate number. Ensure you update your vehicle registration in the app if you drive a different vehicle to campus.
To park, select Monash University location and ZONE then press START.
Finished parking? Press STOP and you'll only pay for the time you park. If you don't press stop you will be charged the daily maximum rate.
When parking using CellOPark you need to select a zone code corresponding to the area that you have parked. You can identify the zone code using signage in the car park. The following Metered parking zone codes can be found in the app:
3800100 - Clayton - Meter
3800200 - Caulfield - Meter
3800300 - Peninsula - Meter
3800400 - Parkville - Meter
When parking in a metered zone, staff and students are required to select the relevant metered parking zone and pay the corresponding parking rate. Staff, students and visitors are all charged the same rate when parking in metered areas.
Pay at a parking meter
As an alternative to using CellOPark, you can pay for parking at a meter. These are located in the N1 and SE3 car parks at Clayton, and the N1 car park at Peninsula.
Our parking meters are cashless and accept credit, debit or pre-paid Visa or Mastercard cards only.
The meters record your vehicle registration number, so you do not need to display a ticket on your dashboard.
Enter your vehicle registration number at the parking meter. Please make sure to accurately enter the number "0" and letter "O" and don't confuse the number "1" with the letter "I".
Select card payment and the amount of time you wish to park. Press OK to confirm.
Tap or insert your credit, debit or pre-paid Visa card.
When prompted by the meter "Do you want a receipt?" select "Yes".
Note down or take a photo of the 4-digit code displayed on the screen.
Enter the 4-digit code and the vehicle registration number.
The receipt will be shown for download.
You can link your vehicle registration number to your email address by selecting "Set up email". Once you have set this up you will automatically be emailed receipts for future transactions at the Monash parking meters.
