Bridgestone Australia Blood Cancer Centre (Adelaide)

39 Folland Ave, Northfield SA 5085

The Bridgestone Australia Blood Cancer Centre is located in Adelaide’s north-eastern suburbs and provides a supportive environment for people who must travel far from home to receive treatment for blood cancer. The centre includes accommodation and a team of supportive staff, including healthcare professionals, to ensure people receive personalised care, support and information throughout their stay. It 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.

  • Laundry facilities including a washing machine, clothes dryer and drying rack

We will accommodate people with accessibility needs whenever possible.

Please note, the Blood Cancer Centre units are not serviced and residents are responsible for cleaning their own units throughout their stay.
