We work closely with you to create a plan that supports your health, your wellbeing, and your goals.
OUR SERVICES
We understand a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and you’re not alone. At Oncology West, we’re here to support and guide you every step of the way, from your first referral through to treatment and ongoing care.
How do I get started?
Your first step is a consultation, where we’ll review your medical history, current treatment, and care goals. From there, we’ll work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. For further information regarding your first visit, click here. To make an appointment, please contact our team.
Medical oncology
Our medical oncologists in collaboration with your care team, will plan and manage a treatment plan and works with the rest of your care team. This part of cancer care uses medicines to treat cancer. It may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and other drug treatments. Oncology West runs a broad range of clinical trials at St John of God Murdoch and Subiaco.

Clinical trials
Clinical trials are how new cancer treatments are carefully tested and shown to be safe, proven and effective. Being treated at a centre that is actively involved in clinical trials can also make a difference. Research has shown that patients who are treated in a centre actively involved in clinical trials do better than non research focused treatment centres.

Oncology West has been involved in over 100 clinical trials over the past 20 years, focusing on a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, stomach, oesophageal, head and neck, melanoma, and colorectal cancers, as well as newer targeted and gene-based treatments. Some of this research has helped shape new treatment approaches used around the world, particularly in targeted therapies and immunotherapy. We also work closely with other cancer trial centres to share knowledge and improve care.
In Western Australia, we helped set up the Clin Refer trial collaborative, which helps connect patients with clinical trials that may be suitable for their specific condition.
Specialist nursing care
You’ll be cared for by our experienced cancer nurses, who are here to support you both in our cancer centre and inpatient services. We can also connect you with specialist nurses who will help guide and coordinate your care, whatever your needs may be. If you’re travelling from a rural area, we’ll make sure you have priority access to our specialist clinical nurse consultants, who will take the time to support you and help you feel confident at every step of your treatment.
