Abstract

Text from the PROV entry as at 2024-05-10:

Officially known as: Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute (known as the Cancer Institute 1949 - 1986). The Cancer Institute was established in 1949 under the provisions of the Cancer Institute Act 1948 (No. 5341). The Institute is a specialist oncology centre responsible for research into the causation, diagnosis and treatment of cancer and allied conditions. The Institute provides in-patient and out-patient treatment and specialist training programmes for medical students, postgraduate medical practitioners and allied health professionals.

Under the Cancer Institute Act 1948 (No.5341), s.4, a body called the Cancer Institute Board was to be formed to manage the Cancer Institute. The Cancer Institute/Peter MacCallum Hospital began in one room at the Queen Victoria Hospital and by 1986, when its name was formally changed to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute, it occupied eleven different sites in Melbourne. In 1990 approval was given to consolidate the Institutes facilities on the site of the former St Andrews Hospital in East Melbourne.

In 1995 the Institute became part of the Inner Health Care Network. In 1996 it became part of the amalgamated Inner and Eastern Health Care Network. Jurisdiction: Victoria
