Parking is available on site. The car park can occasionally get busy during the day. Please arrive 10-15mins before your appointment to allow for parking time. To view a map of the location, see Useful links below.
Nicholson St Specialist Centre, Greenslopes
Paid parking is available at the hospital in the multi-story carpark directly adjacent to the specialist centre. The entrances to the carpark are via the main entrance on Newdegate St and from Nicholson St. Free street parking on the street is available nearby but these spaces are very popular and sometimes difficult to obtain.
If you are catching public transport, a free hospital shuttle bus runs continuous loops from the Greenslopes bus station.
The fee for your initial consultation will depend on the condition for which you are seeing Dr Morris and your treatment plan moving forward.

A Sigmoidoscopy is an examination of the sigmoid colon and rectum (via a rigid sigmoidoscope). Dr Morris will determine the need for a sigmoidoscopy during your initial consultation. This applies to rectal conditions only and does not apply to general surgical conditions.
On the day of your procedure or surgery, simply present to the main reception desk located just within the main entrance of the hospital and the hospital reception staff will direct you from there.
