Through 12 years of participation in the Dry July campaign, CPMCC at Westmead Hospital has raised significant funds to support cancer service and facility improvements, enhancing the experience of patients and their carers throughout their cancer journey.

Thanks to this ongoing support, we’ve been able to deliver a wide range of impactful projects across our service, including:

• Purchase of Aboriginal Artwork to display in the Cancer service reception area

• Floral arrangements display in Radiation Oncology and cancer service main foyer

• Purchase of 4 x dressing trolleys for the delivery of chemotherapy treatment • Patient monitoring and measurement equipment for Brachytherapy Bunker and Linacs

• Mobile Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Stands with 2 Large Baskets- Oncology ward

• Renovations and refurbishment of all outpatients waiting areas within CPMCC, including replacement of all the chairs within the clinic consult rooms

• Installation of sky ceiling in Radiation Oncology. The project helps patients to look up at the backlit panels that feature various outdoor scenes, creating the illusion they are looking through the ceiling to the sky or into the ocean

• Replacement of all chemotherapy chairs at the centre

• Purchased of stylish patient gowns for breast cancer patients during their treatment

• Purchased 2 iPads with adjustable stands and speakers to help culturally and linguistically diverse cancer patients attending the day care clinic to communicate with interpreters via video link to better understand their complex treatments for Westmead Day Suite Cancer Care.

• Creation and printing of psycho-oncology brochures,

• Installation of art works within Westmead Cancer Service

• Provision of flowers and music within the centre to create a welcoming environment, • Purchased iPads to provide music in bunkers for our patients whilst receiving their daily treatment to reduce anxiety,

• Provision of physiotherapy weights for cancer related exercise routines,

• Purchased of new stylish patient gowns for breast cancer patients during their treatment

• Purchased of 4X patient monitoring system

• Purchased of tower fan

These initiatives help create a more welcoming, supportive, and patient-centred environment, making a real difference to how people experience treatment each day.

All of this has been made possible through the generosity of Dry July participants and donors.

Funds raised through Dry July 2026 will continue to support vital, patient-focused improvements across both outpatient and inpatient areas, helping ensure every patient and carer feels supported, comfortable, and cared for throughout their cancer journey.
