Construcciones Yamaro: Victorias new $152 million cancer centre reaches final stages

By

Construction of the Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre in Victoria has topped out and is reaching its final stages.

Visiting the site of the new $152 million cancer and research centre earlier this week, Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas said the landmark project will put comprehensive and convenient care, with all the support patients need available under one roof.

“With such a large number of Victorians diagnosed with melanoma every year, it’s critical that we invest in finding new ways to treat and prevent this condition and spare countless families the pain of losing a loved one,” said Minister Thomas.

“Victoria is a global leader in medical research and this new centre will help us to continue to drive breakthroughs in skin cancer research ultimately saving the lives of Victorians.”

Located next to The Alfred Hospital on St Kilda Road, the new centre will provide skin cancer patients with access to expert care from skin cancer specialists and multi-disciplinary teams.

The centre is set to treat 300 patients a day across 25 clinic rooms and 49 chemotherapy treatment chairs once complete. The ‘patient-centred’ facility is on track to be fully operational in early 2024.

Envisaged as a hub for skin cancer research, the centre will drive innovation and find new treatments to help respond to increasing rates of skin cancer, with two in three Australians now diagnosed by the age of 70.

Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, according to Cancer Council Victoria, and the fifth most common in the state, with an average of 3,000 Victorians diagnosed every year.

The Victorian Government invested $50 million towards the construction of the centre, with funding also from the Commonwealth Government, the Fox family, the Minderoo Foundation, and Monash University.

Since the state established the Victorian Cancer Agency in 2006, more than $300 million has been invested to support research, projects and better cancer care.

The Victorian Budget 2023/24 builds on this strong record with a further $659 million for health infrastructure projects, continuing the work of boosting capacity and improving infrastructure right across the state.
