The free Christchurch Hospital shuttle runs from the new Deans Ave Car Park.
The shuttle is free for users of the Deans Ave Car Park and operates between 7.15am and 8.30pm on weekdays and between 11am and 8pm Saturday and Sunday.
There is a mandatory break between 2.30pm and 3.15pm on the weekends for our drivers, so no shuttle will operate at this time.
Shuttles leave every 15 to 20 minutes and drop off and pick up at Christchurch Outpatients, Christchurch Hospital main entrance, and Waipapa outside the Emergency Department.
The shuttle journey takes around 8-10 minutes depending on traffic.
The new car park is a clear walk through Hagley Park to the hospital. This walk takes around 15-20 minutes and there is a sealed footpath all the way.
The shuttles are clearly marked with our new bright orange livery, so please make sure that you get on the correct shuttle.
Parents are responsible for bringing their children's car seats. The shuttle can accommodate prams.
The shuttle is not suitable for wheelchairs. There is mobility car parking on site and near Christchurch Hospital.
Please note that drivers take a half-hour lunch break around 1pm and so there may be some delay at this time.
There is a mandatory break time on weekends for our drivers between 2.30pm and 3.15pm, so no shuttle will operate at this time.
This is the only shuttle service run by Canterbury District Health Board.
Our shuttles are clearly marked in bright orange with the Deans Ave Car Park destination.
We recommend using the hospital shuttle service which runs from the Deans Avenue Car Park, as there is only very limited on-street parking near the Outpatients building itself.
If you prefer to try to park nearer the hospital the nearest off-street car parking to the Outpatients building is a Wilsons car park on Antigua Street, but there are several other car parks within a short walk. See the City Council’s website for an up-to-date parking map.
See Christchurch Hospital for more detailed information about parking and transport.
If you are a mobility parking permit holder you can park in one of the designated mobility car parking spaces (indicated by a wheelchair icon on the map below) located outside the front of Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch Outpatients and nearby on Cambridge Terrace.
