Liverpool Hospital Cancer Services was awarded a $2 million ACRF grant to go towards providing a facility for the first cancer Wellness Centre in south-west Sydney.
The ACRF OASIS Centre will be the only centre in Sydney collecting data for research and evidence purposes in order to further improve the care that can be provided to future cancer patients. The centre will focus on gathering scientific evidence on the use of a wide range of treatments including massage, acupuncture, exercise, Chinese medicine and diet in improving short and long-term treatment and quality of life outcomes for cancer patients
The ACRF OASIS Centre will work in partnership with universities and research institutes including the University of NSW, Western Sydney University, the Ingham Institute and the National Institute of Complementary Medicine.
