Cutting-edge treatment tech unveiled at Peter Mac Moorabbin
03 December 2025
Patients receiving radiotherapy at Peter Mac’s Moorabbin campus will now benefit from cutting-edge technology that delivers faster, more precise and tailored cancer treatment.
A newly installed treatment machine equipped with Varian’s latest “HyperSight” technology was unveiled at a special event at the campus on Wednesday 3 December.
Attendees included Peter Mac’s Chief Operating Officer Karen Fox, Director of Department of Radiation Oncology Professor Sandro Porceddu, and the team bringing this technology to patients.
“This technology marks a leap forward in the way we plan and deliver radiotherapy, and in how patients experience their treatment,” Prof Porceddu says.
“We’re proud to bring this next-generation capability to our Moorabbin campus where it will directly benefit cancer patients across Melbourne’s south-east.”
Benefits of the new technology include:
- Sharper imaging – Allowing clinicians to visualise soft tissue and tumour boundaries in greater detail than ever before, leading to more targeted treatments.
- Faster scan times – Reducing the time that patients need to hold their breath during scans.
- “Adaptive radiation therapy”- Imaging improvements give the potential to update treatment plans on the spot to match the patient’s anatomy for that day.
The Moorabbin campus – based at Monash Cancer Centre and operated in partnership with Monash Health – provides radiotherapy services to people in Melbourne’s south-east.
It is the second largest radiotherapy centre in Victoria, delivering around 25,000 treatment sessions each year.
Peter Mac’s team at Monash Cancer Centre includes skilled radiation oncologists, radiation therapists, medical physicists, nurses, allied health staff and radiation engineers.
