Australians Need Proton Therapy Here at Home

Eight studies comprising 310 patients (247 receiving PT) were included. Tumor types varied and included gliomas, meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, and others. Overall, PT was associated with stable or improved outcomes in global cognition, memory, language, executive function, attention, working memory, and visuospatial abilities. No study reported progressive cognitive decline.

Intracranial neoplasms are abnormal cell growths within the central nervous system (CNS) that may lead to neuropsychological dysfunction due to their location, mass effect, and proximity to eloquent brain regions. They represent 1,6% of all tumors …

"We would need to deliver 45 to 50 treatments of IMRT to give the same biologic equivalent dose we achieve with five sessions of proton therapy," says Dr. Vargas. "This means we are able to deliver a higher biologic dose against the cancer than possible with traditional radiation."

Mayo Clinic's phase 3 clinical trial shows higher doses of proton therapy delivered over fewer sessions can be just as effective as longer radiation therapy.

Proton Therapy Australia is committed to bringing world-class cancer care to Sydney through the development of a proton therapy centre in Alexandria. This facility aligns with the Government’s vision for multiple proton centres across the country and will be funded entirely by private capital.

More than 9,000 Australians each year could benefit from proton therapy. Even if the SAHMRI/Bragg Centre proceeds, which we hope will be the case, demand will require both Adelaide and Sydney facilities to ensure patients are treated at home rather than overseas. It is essential that children and adults with the 13 cancers already approved by MSAC — and with further indications such as left-sided breast, oesophageal, and head and neck cancers now in the pipeline — have timely access to care in Australia.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do collectively to make our economy more productive” - Treasurer Jim Chalmers Australian Productivity Summit August 2025.
“This data shows that the much needed ‘handover’ from the public to private sector as our primary engine of growth has yet to properly occur.”

With final MBS approval of the 13 indications already endorsed by MSAC, Proton Therapy Australia’s Sydney centre can move ahead immediately. We invite Government, clinicians, and investors to work with us to ensure Australians have timely access to this vital treatment, delivered through a sustainable partnership between private capital and public health priorities.

Excellent article by Terry Pane in the AFR this morning. He's certainly shone a light on the frustrating situation in Adelaide the failed investment and the disappointment for all the patients who need proton therapy. It's going to take some time to sort out.
In the meantime, we continue to work on delivering the PTA clinic by end of 2028.

Teddy Marchmont had to go to Florida, and find $360,000, for the best treatment for his brain tumour while a purpose-built bunker sits empty in Adelaide. What’s going on?
