PARKING Callaghan campus students have to pay for parking on campus. Costs are as follows
Tip: If you study at Callaghan you can transfer parking permits from one car to another, so carpooling is a great way to save some money and reduce carbon emissions!
• Day ticket = $4.20 • Half year permit = $72.75 • Yearly permit = $145.50 Parking permits can be obtained from one of the student hubs. Students at the Ourimbah and Port Macquarie campuses can park on campus for free. There is no designated parking for students on the Sydney campus, so students will need to pay the local parking toll fees
