GenesisCare to bring first local radiation therapy centre to cancer patients in Adelaide’s east
Adelaide, SA – GenesisCare will develop the first radiation therapy centre for east Adelaide patients as part of Burnside Hospital’s new Health Precinct in Toorak Gardens, bringing integrated cancer care to the community.
At a visit to the development site, GenesisCare General Manager for South Australia, Duy Tran, said: “GenesisCare is pleased to be selected as the preferred provider of radiation therapy within this important health precinct.”
“The addition of radiation therapy to the hospital’s existing cancer care services is a win for patients of the eastern suburbs. Once live, the local community will have access to integrated oncology services at the one location, including a state-of-the art linear accelerator machine at GenesisCare’s clinic that is expected to deliver radiation therapy treatment to around 500 patients each year.”
GenesisCare Consumer Representative and former patient, John, from the western suburbs of Adelaide said: “I’m pleased to see GenesisCare developing its services in the east, and adding to its other centres in the north, south and west of Adelaide, as well as the CBD. The local community is lucky to have such fantastic, caring people setting up this centre in Toorak Gardens. It will allow people who need help to access care close to home, which is so important.”
Attending the site visit, City of Burnside Mayor Anne Monceaux said: “It is exciting to see the contribution that GenesisCare will make to the users of this enhanced new facility. This facility will provide significantly improved access for patients needing cancer treatment in our local community. Thanks to them, our community will have the latest in radiation therapy available and this is expected to cater for more than 500 patients per year when it opens in 2028. Thank you to GenesisCare for their quality oncology services that they will bring to the City of Burnside.”
James Arsenikakis, Managing Director of Cambridge Medical Property, said: “The arrival of GenesisCare to the developing Burnside Hospital Health Precinct is a significant step forward in delivering a comprehensive and integrated cancer treatment facility for Adelaide’s eastern suburbs. The collaboration between GenesisCare, Burnside Hospital and Cambridge Medical Property is an exciting milestone and reflects a shared commitment to delivering world-class healthcare infrastructure."
The new Burnside Hospital Health Precinct at Toorak Gardens represents a $130 million investment into local healthcare, spanning the development, fit-out and state-of-the-art technology. It is expected to include two new operating theatres and a procedure room, specialist consulting rooms, radiology, cancer treatment, pathology, and a fertility clinic to deliver whole-of-life care to meet the growing demand for services in the community.
GenesisCare is scheduled to open the new radiation therapy facility within the precinct in 2028.
