About Us

The Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre, is a leading cancer centre that provides whole-person cancer care through world class treatment and evidence-based wellness therapies. Established in 2012, the Centre continues Olivia’s vision of combining science and compassion to support every person through their cancer journey.

Alongside medical treatment, patients have access to a range of wellness programs designed to strengthen the body, mind and spirit. Our programs include oncology, massage art and music therapy, psychology, specialised exercise, nursing consultations and group programs that provide information, connection and support. In the 2024 financial year alone, a total of 10,477 wellness therapy sessions were delivered free to patients at the ONJ Centre.

Importantly, these essential programs are not government funded. By taking part in Dry July, you are helping ensure patients can continue to access the care, support and strategies they need at every stage of their cancer journey.
Every cancer journey is different. Through personalised wellness plans, patients are empowered with information, choice in decision-making, and compassion at a time when they may feel uncertain or overwhelmed.

Your support this Dry July helps ensure every patient has the support they need to thrive through their cancer experience

Counselling Program at Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Centre

The ONJCWC at Austin Hospital is using funds towards a psychological and emotional support counselling pilot program.

Psychological support for patients with cancer and their carers may be needed at any point in the patient care pathway.

The psychological and emotional counselling support program will provide expertise in diagnosing and treating conditions including anxiety and stress associated with the shock of a cancer diagnosis. It will mean patients and carers can get the right help at the right time. The program will result in reduced distress and promote adjustment in patients and carers, enabling them to enjoy a better quality of life.  

Artist Residency Program

Dry July funds are going towards the establishment of an artist residency program at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Centre, that will engage patients and carers in creating artwork that is personally meaningful during their stay as an inpatient or while attending the centre as an outpatient.

When patients and carers come into a Cancer Centre they are often anxious, scared and feel isolated from their families and wider community. The artist in residence program will enable them to engage in artistic activities that allow them to relax and engage in their own creativity, to express their feelings, to engage in an activity that distracts them from the rigour of treatment and that connects them with the wider community. Through the arts, people with cancer and their carers are able to find a “safe space” for themselves during what is often a confronting life experience.

One of the highlights of the project was the Art Therapy Brain Cancer Support Group - Mosaic Sculpture, as pictured here.
