Albury Wodonga cancer centre marks a decade of unified care
The centre unified cancer care across NSW and Victoria state lines after opening 10 years ago today.
The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre unified cancer care across the NSW-Victoria border 10 years ago. Patients no longer need separate places for treatment.
The centre's biggest need going forward is more doctors and funding for a full-time dietitian. The centre became fully public in January 2026, and some staff worried about the change.

Why it mattersCancer patients in regional areas often travel hours for care; unified treatment saves time, improves recovery odds, and costs less than fragmented systems.
AustraliaPatients across the NSW-Victoria border region now access comprehensive cancer care locally instead of crossing state lines, cutting travel costs and wait times.
