Services to be provided in the new facility will consist of radiotherapy, day-case chemotherapy, oncology late phase clinical trials and oncology outpatient clinics.

For the new facility, modular dry interlocking blocks will be used in the construction of the LINAC bunkers, which will offer protection from radiation outside of the bunkers.

The design of the building will aim to ease patient flow through the facility and prioritise patient health and comfort, along with the clinicians’ needs.

The project is currently in the design phase. Work on the project is slated to complete in January 2021.
