Our model of care
A culture of uncompromising, patient-centred care underpins everything we do.
The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse model of care is multidisciplinary, patient-centered, and research based, delivered through integrated and co-located services – eliminating the need for you to navigate a series of appointments at different locations. Our staff are passionate, caring, and dedicated. Their behaviour is guided by our Values.
We provide cancer treatment in a way that supports, nurtures and empowers patients, their families and carers through mutually beneficial partnerships. We strive to ensure that your treatment and care decisions include your wants, needs and preferences, enabling participation in your own care.
In addition to top-class medical facilities, Chris O’Brien Lifehouse offers complementary therapies and allied health services through the Lifehouse LivingRoom, a unique supportive care and integrative oncology centre. The LivingRoom provides services, education and therapies to compliment your clinical treatments to improve your outcomes by relieving the symptoms and side-effects of cancer and its treatments.
