Why Furnished Apartments Work Better for Medical Stays
Home Comforts During Treatment
What self-contained living gives you
A serviced apartment gives you a full kitchen, laundry, and a separate living area. This matters on a long stay. You cook your own meals, keep your own hours, and have space to rest. That is very different from a hotel room. Extended Stays hand-picks options with these features as standard.
Proximity to Royal Hobart Hospital
Walking distance from key streets
The hospital sits in the Hobart CBD on Liverpool Street. Furnished apartments along Liverpool Street, Argyle Street, and Campbell Street are within a 5 to 10 minute walk of the main entrance.

Patient Travel Assistance Scheme (PTAS)
What PTAS Is and Who Qualifies
A plain-English guide to the scheme
PTAS is a Tasmanian Government scheme. It helps rural and regional Tasmanians pay for travel and accommodation when they need specialist care in Hobart. Extended Stays provides itemised quotes and invoices that guests can use to support their own PTAS claim. We do not lodge claims on your behalf, but our documentation is designed to meet the scheme's requirements.
PTAS-Compatible Documentation Checklist
- Itemised quote showing nightly or weekly rate
- Confirmed booking dates aligned with treatment schedule
- Property address for claim submission
- Tax invoice issued on request
Submit these documents to the PTAS office or your treating hospital's social work team. Extended Stays makes it simple to get the right paperwork fast.
