WA Health supplements 20% of the cost after the 25% TravelSmart card discount offered by the Public Transport Authority. Staff eligible for a Corporate SmartRider are WA Health employees at Royal Perth Hospital (Wellington Street Campus), Fremantle Hospital, Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, Princess Margaret Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital who are employed for 12 months or greater but do not have a parking permit or are willing to surrender it. (f) (i - v) and (g) Information relating to staff member accessibility to public transport, estimated private car travel time and child drop off / pick up is sought as part of staff members' individual parking application process. This information is collected as part of a confidential application process. Each application is assessed individually and relates to individuals' personal circumstances. The data is not collated into survey format nor can the process be considered a survey. A survey was carried out at Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (where respondents were advised the data was for survey purposes) in 2009. This survey was primarily for measuring the success of migrating people from cars to alternative forms of commuting rather than assessing the travel needs of staff.
