Description
Our mission is to raise funds to support cancer services in the Albury Wodonga region to provide quality care to patients and their families. The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre will house the most modern cancer treatment facilities of the day and will unite cancer services under one roof offering a place to educate, support, research, diagnose and treat all forms of cancer.
The heart of the Regional Cancer Centre will be those who staff it… permanent cancer professionals with the skills we need in Albury Wodonga. Walk through landscaped gardens to the nearby Albury Wodonga Patient and Carer Accommodation Centre and we will finally have the facilities we deserve.
The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre will include:
• 30 inpatient beds
• 30 chair Day Chemotherapy facility
• 17 Medical and Allied Health Consulting rooms
• An education and training facility
• A ‘Wellness Centre’ (offering support services and complementary therapies such as massage therapy, exercise therapy including yoga and tai chi, nutrition and diet advice, meditation and counselling)
• 2 paediatric treatment chairs connected to the current paediatric unit
• A PET/CT scanner facility on the Albury Hospital site
• A Brachytherapy service for the region
• Additional car parking at the Albury Hospital site

We are super excited to announce our new ambassador - actor Richard Roxburgh! Albury-born and raised, Richard said he was honoured to support the Trust Fund in its work to raise money for local cancer services. “I doubt there’s probably a single mature adult in Australia who hasn’t been impacted by cancer in some way or another. I certainly have - it has affected the lives of family and dear friends. And it’s taken some of those closest to me,” he said. “It’s why the work of the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund is invaluable to the region of Albury; to provide state-of-the-art cancer treatment, therapies and support to those suffering from all types of cancer. I totally endorse their work, and hope that they continue to gain much-needed support, of all kinds, along the way.” We are incredibly grateful to Richard for his support 👏😎💖
