Why Suburb Location Matters for Medical Stays
Nedlands and Subiaco for QEII and Perth Children's Hospital
Perth Children's Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner sit within the QEII Medical Centre precinct in Nedlands. Furnished apartments in Nedlands and Subiaco place families within a short walk or a single bus ride of both campuses. Subiaco train station on the Fremantle Line gives easy access without the need for a car. Hospital parking at Perth public hospitals costs up to $35 per day (Parking Australia, 2024). Staying close and using public transport saves families hundreds of dollars over a multi-week stay.
Murdoch for Fiona Stanley and St John of God
The Fiona Stanley and Murdoch health campus is one of Australia's largest integrated health precincts. Transperth's Mandurah Line stops at Murdoch Station, which is a short bus or rideshare from the hospital entrance. East Murdoch and Murdoch itself offer furnished apartments at some of Perth's most competitive extended-stay rates. Families travelling from regional WA often use this corridor as their base for the duration of specialist treatment.
East Perth for Royal Perth Hospital
East Perth is the most central hub for Royal Perth Hospital patients. The suburb sits directly east of the CBD with good bus and train connections. Extended Stays sources furnished apartments in East Perth from $850 per week, up to 35% below comparable CBD hotel costs for a 14-night-plus stay (SQM Research, 2025).
Patient Assisted Travel Scheme (PATS)
PATS is a Western Australian Government subsidy programme. It helps eligible patients who live in regional or remote WA pay for travel and accommodation when accessing specialist medical care that is not available locally.
What PATS Covers and How Extended Stays Helps
Key PATS eligibility points
To access PATS, a patient must live more than 70 road kilometres from the nearest specialist service, or in certain approved remote communities (WA Department of Health, 2024). The scheme contributes a set daily accommodation subsidy. Patients must keep all original tax invoices from their accommodation provider to submit their reimbursement claim.
Extended Stays provides a full tax invoice and supporting documentation for every booking. You use this paperwork to support your PATS claim directly with the WA Department of Health. We do not coordinate with government schemes on your behalf, but our documentation is structured to make your claim straightforward.
Insurance Claim Guests: Home Damage and Temporary Relocation
What documentation does Extended Stays provide?
If your home has been damaged and your insurer is covering temporary accommodation, Extended Stays provides a detailed quote and tax invoice. You submit this to your insurer or loss adjuster to support your claim. We do not bill or invoice insurers directly. Payment is arranged between you and your insurer.
| Claim Type | Typical Stay Duration | What Is Usually Covered |
|---|---|---|
| Fire or smoke damage | 4 to 16 weeks | Temporary accommodation at a comparable standard to the insured home |
| Flood or water damage | 6 to 24 weeks | Furnished accommodation including utilities, often at a weekly rate |
| Storm damage | 2 to 12 weeks | Temporary relocation costs up to policy limits; policy wording governs scope |
| Medical relocation (TPD or trauma) | 4 to 26 weeks | Varies by policy; insurer determines eligibility; tax invoices required |
Always check your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) -- the document that sets out exactly what your policy covers -- before confirming a booking. Extended Stays can provide quotes at different apartment sizes and price points to help you stay within your cover limit.

Why Families Choose Extended Stays for Medical Accommodation in Perth
A furnished apartment gives you far more than a hotel room. You have a kitchen to prepare meals, a living area to rest, and space for a second carer or family member. For stays of two weeks or more, this is not just more comfortable. It is significantly more affordable.
Furnished long-stay apartments in Perth run up to 35% below equivalent CBD hotel rates for stays of 14 nights or more (SQM Research, 2025). On a six-week medical stay, that saving is substantial.
Extended Stays has placed insurance guests, corporate travellers and medical families across Perth's key hospital precincts. We understand what recovery-focused accommodation looks like. Quiet streets, proximity to public transport, in-apartment laundry, reliable wi-fi and flexible check-in all matter when someone is unwell.
