Radiation Engineering


Radiation Engineering - Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre

Radiation Engineering is responsible for the maintenance of all Radiation Therapy Treatment machines (Linear Accelerators, Orthovoltage and Superficial) as well as treatment simulators at East Melbourne and the satellite centres.

The staff in the department are multi-skilled and provide specialist services to a number of internal and external clients. The electronics group has a primary focus on the treatment machines while the mechanical group has a more diverse role in supporting these machines, manufacturing and maintaining specialist equipment for the research laboratories and other areas of the hospital.

As a result of the increasing complexity of the radiation therapy equipment used and the requirement for equipment to have minimal downtime to deliver a high quality service to our patients, staff undertake specialised training courses overseas.


Location
The Radiation Engineering: Electronics Group is located on the Ground floor of Peter Mac at East Melbourne and the Mechanical workshop is located next door at 10 St. Andrews Place.
