It is business as usual at GenesisCare at John Flynn Cancer Centre, Tugun.
We are working to allay any concerns from our patients and their families given the recent announcement by QLD Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk regarding the closure of the QLD border on midnight on Wednesday 25th March. The Premier has acknowledged that travel by our patients will be an exemption to this closure. Each of our NSW patients are receiving a letter from GenesisCare to support their daily travel into QLD to continue with the radiation therapy treatments. This letter is also being supplied in electronic format to any new NSW patients ahead of their initial consultations at Tugun. We look forward to continuing our service provision to patients of the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers regions.
