Transport
Complimentary shuttle bus from Monash University Clayton Campus (recommended)
Yes. A complimentary shuttle bus service will be available to assist guests travelling between Monash University Clayton Campus and the Summit venue.
We strongly encourage all guests to use this service, as parking at Monash Medical Centre is extremely limited. The shuttle provides a much easier option, allowing you to park at the Clayton campus and take a short, direct trip to the Summit.
Buses will run from the campus bus loop and will drop guests directly at the Lecture Theatre, where the Summit will be held, making arrival and departure as seamless as possible.
Important:
To help us plan capacity and ensure there are enough seats available, please make sure you select “Yes” for the shuttle bus option during checkout. This is essential for us to allocate buses appropriately.
Further details, including pickup locations, departure times, and return services, will be shared with all registered attendees closer to the event. If you have any accessibility or specific transport requirements, please let the MNHS Events Team know during registration so we can assist where possible.
Alternatives to the Shuttle bus - Self drive, public transport, taxi service
The Monash Women and Children’s Health Summit will take place at the Monash Medical Centre precinct. Please refer to the website for additional details on parking.
