Werribee Oncology Treatment Centre Now Open | Werribee, WA
Werribee Oncology Treatment Centre Now Open | Werribee, VIC
The Werribee Oncology Treatment Centre officially opened in July, marking an important milestone for the Wyndham community and providing the municipality’s first dedicated cancer care centre.
Located within the St Vincent’s Private Hospital campus, the GenesisCare centre provides external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), bringing specialist cancer treatment closer to home for patients and their families.
The 640m² single-storey facility is organised around a linear accelerator bunker and dedicated CT imaging room, supported by patient treatment, observation and consultation spaces, staff amenities and operational areas. The design carefully integrates the new facility within the existing hospital campus while responding to the operational requirements of specialist radiation therapy.
Creating a calm and welcoming environment was central to the design approach. Clerestory windows draw natural light deep into the facility, while timber tones, warm finishes and greenery create a considered, reassuring environment for patients, carers and staff.
Externally, the architecture responds to GenesisCare’s established material language while respecting the character of the broader St Vincent’s Werribee campus. Materiality, form and detailing were carefully resolved to create a cohesive addition to the existing health precinct.
The project reflects a strong collaborative relationship between GenesisCare, the Melbourne MODE team, MostynCopper, St Vincent’s, Intrec and the broader consultant team.
