When the new $21 million (including Commonwealth funding) Gippsland cancer centre at Latrobe Regional Hospital opens in March 2006, cancer patients living in Gippsland will no longer have to travel to Melbourne for radiotherapy.

The treatment centre, which will include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, renal dialysis and specialist consulting suites, will ensure cancer patients can stay closer to home and more importantly, closer to their families throughout their treatment.

The Gippsland Cancer Centre is one of many exciting and important health initiatives happening in country Victoria.
