The Cancer Centre
Our vision is for a world-class Cancer and Wellness Centre dedicated to providing the very best of medical care and treatment for cancer patients, and providing an integrated research facility in the search for new treatments and ultimately a cure for all cancers.
The Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre will build on 126 years of cancer care at the Austin Hospital and bring together the Austin's extensive existing cancer services; and the research facilities of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research - in a 21st century purpose-built centre.
A special feature will be the Wellness Centre, offering a full range of complementary therapies, extending the wellness philosophy that will underpin the whole approach of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.
The purpose-built Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre will include existing Austin Health cancer services such as:
• Medical Oncology (run jointly with global organisation - the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research)
• Clinical Haematology
• Radiation Oncology
• Palliative Medicine
These will be complemented with a range of new facilities including:
• Radiotherapy
• Wellness Centre - patient-centred complementary therapies
• Inpatient facilities for acute and palliative care patients
• Outpatient Day Oncology
• Education and Resource Centre
• Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (Head office based in New York. The Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne will be home for many of its clinical research programs)
Such a huge vision can only be realised by caring people working together. Funds raised will go towards creating the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre, Melbourne Australia, and enable further vital research into improved treatments; and ultimately a cure for all types of cancer.
