We do not have parking available at the clinic during the training but there is free parking on Marine Parade towards South Beach, only about a 5-minute walk. These spots go quite quickly in the morning so I would give yourself extra time to find a spot. There are also a number of paid parking bays around. The train station is only about a 10–15-minute walk from the clinic and there are free buses around Fremantle. If any concerns regarding parking and transportation, please let us know.
