Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre

During the Dry July 2026 campaign, you helped Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre raise an incredible $9,622. This support will go towards practical projects that improve comfort, wellbeing and supportive care for people receiving cancer treatment.

Planned improvements include expanding the Wig Library, establishing a wheelchair loan pool for radiotherapy patients and refurbishing the CT treatment area. Together, these improvements will help create a safer, more welcoming and accessible treatment experience for patients.

"Thanks to the generous support of Dry Julyers, we’re able to continue improving the comfort, wellbeing and experience of people receiving cancer treatment at Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre.

This support allows us to make thoughtful improvements that can have a real impact on someone’s experience during treatment – from helping patients feel more confident and supported, to making it easier to get around and creating treatment spaces that feel less clinical and more comfortable.

On behalf of our patients and everyone at Liverpool Cancer Services, thank you for helping us make a difficult time that little bit easier for people in our care."

Dry July funds are supporting Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre's Integrated oncology programs and provide supportive therapies for patients. Programs such as oncology massage, acupuncture, meditation and yoga can help patients through their treatment regime by alleviating side effects and improving outcomes.

All the supportive oncology programs are evidence-based for best outcomes for the patient.

 Your fundraising for Dry July has enabled Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre to support Integrated Wellness Manager, Massage Therapy, Newspaper subscriptions, aromatherapy and fans.

The Integrated Oncology Programs Manager oversees the programs that play an integral part in the patients treatment plan by providing supportive therapies that alleviate side effects and improve patient outcomes.

Palliative Care will be providing massage therapy to improve the patient comfort while bringing peace, comfort and compassion to the patients while the Aromatherapy will assist with mood, anxiety, sleep, nausea and pain that cancer patients feel.

Hand held fans in another complementary therapy that helps the palliative patients with breathlessness that research has identified a cool draft of air from hand-held fans can be very effective.

Palliative patients do have long stays as an inpatient, by providing the patients with newspapers daily reduces boredom while keeping their minds distracted from pain, anxiety and depression.

An astounding $30,488 has been raised for Cancer Services at The ACRF OASIS Centre.
