About us
Over the last 30 years GenesisCare, WA has had the privilege of caring for people with a cancer diagnosis in communities across Western Australians.
Our team of about 400 includes doctors, nurses, radiation therapists, engineers and support staff who work together to deliver comprehensive care across 8 locations. Our doctors collaborate with other cancer specialists in multidisciplinary meetings at both public and private hospitals to ensure our patients receive the best possible care.
We have a dedicated research team of 54 who partner globally to bring the latest clinical innovations to patients here in WA. Ensuring all eligible patients have access to clinical trials is a key focus of our care. Our clinical trial start-up timelines and accrual metrics are amongst the fastest and highest in the country, reflecting our commitment to excellence and efficiency in clinical research. Improving patient health outcomes in the future is just as important as treating patients today.
In addition to radiation oncology, haematology and medical oncology, theranostics is available at our St John of God Hospital Murdoch centre. Theranostics is a promising treatment that combines diagnostics and therapy to detect and target late-stage prostate cancer, providing a personalised approach to care. This highly personalised approach may help patients with advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine or prostate cancers.

Free or subsidised parking
We offer free or subsidised parking at most centres except Fiona Stanley Hospital. Parking may be limited at times.
Efficient daily visits of ~15 minutes
Efficient daily visits of ~15 minutes for Radiation Therapy1 means your day is not consumed with medical appointments.
Flexible appointment scheduling
Where possible, appointment times work in with our patients' other commitments.
Transport
Some regional patients may qualify for a PATS (Patient Assisted Transport Scheme) subsidy. This can be discussed with the patient services team at your local centre.
Community connections
To celebrate Pride month, our Hollywood centre took a moment to discuss important topics including the use of pronouns and creating a culturally safe and inclusive care environment for members of the LGBTIQA+ community.
7 members had some laughs in Lycra while participating in the “MACA Cancer 200 Ride for the Perkins”. This was to help raise funds for WA cancer researchers at the Harry Perkins Institute of medical research.
In 24 hours, we walked a total of 1526 laps (610.4km) which is the equivalent of Perth to Kalgoorlie! This was all to raise funds for Cancer Council’s Relay for Life and the great work they do.
