Youth Cancer Centre

A dedicated space for young people and their families at Peter Mac's Melbourne campus.............

 

The Youth Cancer Centre is the home of the Victorian Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Service. You do not have to be a patient with our service to access the Centre. Young people and their families can come here to: 

• relax while waiting for hospital appointments  
• take time away from the ward if they are staying in hospital 
• see a member of the Victorian AYA Cancer Service team 
• attend some of our group programs 

The Youth Cancer Centre features:  

• a patient and family lounge 
• a fully equipped kitchen 
• work/study nooks  
• semi-private rest spaces 
• a multipurpose room (used for everything from movie nights to a yoga or music studio) 

It also houses a broad range of information and resources. Young people receiving treatment at Peter Mac can also access or borrow these resources during hospital stays. Resources include: 

• books 
• games 
• art supplies 
• PlayStations 
• DVD players and DVDs
