Royal Children's Hospital Accommodation — Just Minutes Away
Q Squared Serviced Apartments are located less than 1 kilometre from the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) on Flemington Road, Parkville — an easy 10-minute walk or a single tram stop on the number 57 or 59 tram. When your child is in hospital, the last thing you should be worrying about is where you're going to sleep. We're here to take that off your plate.
Our fully self-contained apartments give parents and families a proper home base — somewhere to cook a meal, do a load of washing, and get a decent night's rest, so you can be at your best for your child every day.
Why Families Choose a Serviced Apartment Over a Hotel
When you're staying near a children's hospital, a standard hotel room quickly becomes impractical. You can't cook, you can't do laundry, and there's no space for a second family member to stay comfortably. Our serviced apartments are built for exactly this kind of stay.
- Full kitchen — cook your own meals, cater for specific dietary needs, and save significantly on daily food costs during what can be a long stay
- In-apartment washer and dryer — pack light and stay fresh without leaving the building
- One and two bedroom options — room for both parents, or a parent and sibling, to stay together comfortably
- Flexible cancellations and date changes — children's hospital stays are unpredictable by nature, and we work around your schedule without penalty
- After-hours check-in — because hospital days don't follow a timetable
- Free secure parking on site — avoid expensive daily hospital parking fees
- Free WiFi throughout — stay connected with family back home and your child's medical team
- Wheelchair accessible rooms available on request
- Quiet, residential setting — a calm environment to rest and recharge away from the hospital
How Far Are We from the Royal Children's Hospital?
Our apartments on Chetwynd Street, North Melbourne are under 1 kilometre from the Royal Children's Hospital main entrance at 50 Flemington Road, Parkville. The number 57 and 59 trams on Flemington Road stop directly outside RCH and connect easily to our area. We are also walking distance from:
- Royal Melbourne Hospital — 7-minute walk
- Royal Women's Hospital — 8-minute walk
- Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre — 10-minute walk
- Murdoch Children's Research Institute — 10-minute walk
Extended Stays for Long-Term Treatment
Many families travelling to RCH are facing extended treatment courses — whether for surgery, oncology, cardiac care, or other specialist paediatric services. The Royal Children's Hospital serves not just Victoria but also Tasmania, southern New South Wales and parts of South Australia , meaning many families are far from home for weeks or even months at a time.
Our apartments are well suited to long stays, with weekly housekeeping, full kitchen and laundry facilities, and discounted rates for stays of 7 nights or more. We'd rather you focus entirely on your child — contact us directly to discuss your situation and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
Financial Assistance — VPTAS
If you are travelling more than 100 kilometres from your home to bring your child to the Royal Children's Hospital, you may be eligible for the Victorian Patient Transport Assistance Scheme (VPTAS). VPTAS is a Victorian Government initiative that helps rural and remote Victorians with travel and accommodation costs when they need to travel more than 100 kilometres for healthcare. Ask your RCH social worker or patient liaison team for a VPTAS form, or visit the VPTAS website for eligibility details. We provide all receipts and documentation needed to support your claim.
What Our Guests Say
"I stayed here whilst my son was in hospital. The manager Reece was amazing — so accommodating and attentive to our situation. The rooms were spotless, bright and airy. With washing machine, dryer and cooking facilities, our stay was so easy. I can't recommend Q Squared enough."
"We weren't too bothered about where we stayed as long as it was close to the hospital. However, we were so pleased that we stayed at Q Squared. Even though we arrived outside reception hours, the manager was very accommodating and understood our situation."
"To Warren, Reece and all the housekeeping staff — thank you for your hospitality on our second extended stay. Great rooms, great location, absolutely very friendly staff. Looking forward to our next stay."

Guest Reviews
I have just arrived in Melbourne from Taiwan to start my new career. The staff at Q Squared were very friendly and helped me navigate around the city. The serviced apartment was beautiful and the facilities were exactly what I needed.
I really felt like home when staying at Q Squared Serviced Apartments. The location is very convenient, the room as beautifully clean and the brand new vibe was an added bonus. The location is quiet and easy access to public transport and restaurants.
We wasn't too bothered about where we stayed as long as it was close to the hospital. However, we were so pleased that we stayed at Q Squared Serviced Apartments. Even though we arrived outside of reception hours, the manager was very accommodating and understood our situation.
