Coronavirus (COVID-19) information

To all of our patients at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Peter Mac)

We know it's a challenging time and that you may have questions about COVID-19 and your cancer treatment.

As this is a rapidly changing situation, please visit the Department of Health and Human Services website for the latest updates, including advice on symptoms and precautions.

Peter Mac will be performing temperature checks and asking screening questions to all patients, visitors, couriers and contractors entering the building.

We have introduced changes to visiting hours and to number of visitors during COVID-19.

There are many simple things you can do to protect yourself from COVID-19 but your best defence is good hand hygiene and avoiding touching your face.

Peter Mac is experiencing a high volume of calls so we're working with Cancer Council Australia’s Information and Support line to ensure we can best support our patients and families.

On this page you will find links to COVID-19 information in other languages.

During the COVID-19 pandemic we are all making changes to our daily lives, and that includes our exercise routines.
