Village Green Blood Cancer Centre (Brisbane)

1/9 Machinery St, Bowen Hills QLD 4006

The Village Green Blood Cancer Centre was designed by award-winning architects Cox Rayner and is located in The Green complex at the RNA Showgrounds. The centre provides people with blood cancer and their loved ones with a contemporary and comfortable home away from home while they receive treatment in Brisbane. It includes accommodation and a team of supportive staff, including healthcare professionals, to ensure people receive personalised care, support and information throughout their stay. The Blood Cancer Centre has been designed to meet the special needs of people with blood cancer and their families, and considers factors such as reduced immune function during treatment.
