Icon Cancer Centre Medical Oncology Hobart

Icon Cancer Centre Medical Oncology Hobart delivers world-class cancer treatment to the Tasmanian community. Since opening in 2017, the centre has provided a wide range of advanced therapies with the support of an expert team. Patients receive consistent care from the same doctor throughout their treatment, which helps build trust and continuity.

About Our Centre

Our centre offers chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies. These treatments use the latest medical technologies to achieve accurate results while reducing side effects. Icon Cancer Centre Medical Oncology Hobart also runs Tasmania’s first private cancer clinical trials unit. This allows local patients to access new therapies close to home instead of travelling interstate.

Advanced Treatment Options

We provide precise radiation therapy for all cancer types. The centre uses the Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator, which delivers highly targeted treatments. Advanced options include:

  • Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for tumours with reduced impact on healthy tissue.

  • Volumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy (VMAT) for improved tumour access.

  • Stereotactic Radiation Therapy for small tumours with defined edges.

  • HyperArc technology for multiple brain metastases.

  • IDENTIFY Surface Guided Radiation Therapy for accurate treatments without tattoo marks.

  • Deep Inspiration Breath Hold to reduce radiation impact on the heart for breast cancer patients.

Cancer Research

Research is an important part of what we do. By embedding clinical trials into daily care, our patients gain access to innovative treatments early. This commitment ensures better local options for those needing advanced care.

Patient Support and Care

At Icon, patients and their families receive clear guidance at every stage. We provide information about costs, how to become a patient, and how to choose a specialist. Support services are also available to help patients adjust during and after treatment. No private health insurance is required, and Medicare covers up to 90% of treatment fees.
