The Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre will combine international cancer research and medical treatment, together with the best of wellness care.

The Centre will be home to the largest clinical research site world-wide of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. Patients, with any type of cancer, will have access to scientific discoveries from Ludwig’s global network of laboratories as well as dedicated support programs and complementary therapies.

It's the concept of wellness that will make all the difference to patients and their families when they come to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Centre.

It will provide a supportive care environment to complement patients’ medical treatments. Wellness therapies will include guided relaxation, meditation, massage, music therapy, yoga, counselling, and an Information Resource Centre.

The Centre will build on cancer care expertise that the Austin Hospital, in Heidelberg Victoria (Australia) has provided since 1882 as  part of the Austin Health http://www.austin.org.au/.

It will bring together the best of cancer care, research and education and provide a significant resource; training a new generation of world-class cancer experts.

The Centre is currently under construction, with the first phase scheduled to open mid 2012, which will include the Wellness Centre.

Our fundraising target is to raise an additional $10 million.

When you make a secure online donation you will be giving a gift that keeps on giving.
