The Alfred, Melbourne

Alfred Cancer provides world-class cancer treatment, care and compassion to the people of Melbourne and Victoria. Patients are the reason we are here – they are the focus of what we do. We are proudly a public health service, available to all. Join us this Dry July and help The Alfred continue to support people affected by cancer across metro Melbourne and regional Victoria. Each year, The Alfred treats thousands of people living with cancer. Alfred Health’s cancer service includes 50 inpatient beds, 18 day treatment chairs,18 cancer clinical trial chairs, 5 Linear Accelerators across The Alfred and Latrobe Regional Hospital to deliver radiotherapy, and all of this is solely dedicated to treating adult cancer patients. The Alfred’s cancer services allow for close clinical coordination with a range of cancer specialists, including surgeons, medical oncologists, haematologists, radiation oncologists, nursing and allied health specialists. Patients also have access to our Mindaroo Integrative Oncology and Wellness Centre, with dedicated nursing and allied health clinicians providing support to patients throughout their treatment and beyond. Community support is a fundamental part of The Alfred’s history and its future. Please help us to continue to provide much needed projects and services.
By joining Team Alfred this Dry July, you will help raise funds towards projects like the refurbishment of our Radiotherapy waiting room. Refurbishing this waiting room is important because patients often spend extended, repeated periods in this space during a highly stressful time in their lives. A calm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed environment can reduce anxiety, support emotional wellbeing and enhance the overall patient experience during cancer treatment.
