Hospital map

Always check the location of clinics, wards and units before starting your journey.

Services run across the hospital can be subject to change.

Volunteers are available during the day to help you navigate around the hospital. Look out for volunteers, dressed in bright purple shirts, at the following locations: 

• Level 3 (ground floor) near the lifts
• at the information centre and reception at the main entrance
• on selected floors.

Wayfinding kiosks are located at the main entrance on Level 3, eastern plaza entrance and most public car park lift lobbies.

The interactive touchscreen allows visitors to find maps, specific directions and signage.

Visitors can then print the directions to take with them.

All areas of the RAH are assigned a Level (number) and Section (letter).

The location for your visit should always be assigned a Level (number) and a Section (letter). If you are going in a lift, always go to Level 3 (ground level) first.

Each Section (letter) has been assigned its own colour and theme, and is serviced by a dedicated lift. Use the Section lift to go to the Level you require.

Example

You are visiting general surgery, 5F. This means you need to go to Level 5 in Section F. To get here, you would:

1. Go to Level 3 (ground floor) first, as your starting point.
2. Go to Section F (green) dedicated lift on Level 3 (ground floor).
3. Take the lift to Level 5.
4. When you arrive at Level 5, you will see that signs on the walls indicate you are at 5F.
5. Follow signage to your destination.

If you need help, find one of our friendly volunteers who will be happy to show you the way.

Each level in the hospital has its own distinct themes, signified by the Section letter, theme art and colours to help staff, patients and visitors navigate their way throughout the hospital. 

The themes are:

• Flora, found in sections B, C and F
• Water, found in section G
• Cultural Diversity, found in section D
• Earth, found in section E
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, found in section A.
