A complete range of services are delivered to patients and their families, including, medical oncology, clinical haematology, radiation oncology, cancer genetics, palliative medicine, wellness and supportive care programs, an active volunteer program and specialist cancer surgery.

About Radiation Oncology
Austin Health is one of four health service ‘hubs’ in Victoria which operate radiotherapy services. Austin Health operates two radiation oncology centres in Victoria under the State Governments hub and spoke model. The metro hub is based at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre (ONJ Centre) in Heidelberg and the Ballarat Austin Radiation Oncology Centre (BAROC) is housed in the Ballarat Regional Integrated Cancer Centre (BRICC). Both centres provide multi-disciplinary care including both nursing and allied health services, innovative and progressive approaches to treatment underpinned by the guiding principle of patient centred care and wellness for all patients.
The multi-disciplinary teams at both sites are committed to excellence in practice and care. Staff undertake a range of professional development activities, are involved in research trials and liaise and consult with a wide range of specialists and health care professionals to ensure the care offered is at the leading edge of technology. The equipment at both sites is state-of-the-art, and the treatment options available ensure every disease site is treated according to best practice.
The ONJ Radiation Oncology Department runs weekdays and some public holidays. The department is located on Level 2 in the ONJ Centre. There are 3 Linac Machines, 1 MR Linac machine, 1 MR Simulation Machine and 1 CT Simulation Machine within the department. There is also a Brachytherapy service that runs twice a week and Superficial Treatment as well. The department provides patient centred care and treatment to inpatients and outpatients that are referred to the service.
