Did you CCA utilises tattoo-free radiation therapy across all centres?

Using advanced Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT), a specialised 3D camera system monitors your position in real time with sub-millimetre accuracy. This means we can deliver highly precise radiation treatment without the need for permanent tattoos, which have traditionally been used to align positioning over multiple treatment rounds. For many people, those small tattoos became a lasting visible reminder of their cancer journey.

SGRT also enhances safety. The system continuously tracks your position and will automatically pause treatment if unexpected movement is detected. Set-ups are faster and more precise, meaning less time adjusting and more confidence in your care.

For breast cancer patients, when SGRT is combined with breath-hold techniques, radiation exposure to the heart is reduced - lowering the risk of heart disease later in life. This is technology designed not just for effective treatment now, but for your long-term health and comfort.

Since 2024, all Cancer Care Associates treatment machines have utilised SGRT. We believe tattoo-free treatment represents the standard of care - because caring for you means thinking about every detail, both during and beyond treatment.

My name is Jacob, and I’m a medical physicist with Cancer Care Associates at Moreton Bay. While I grew up in Brisbane and did my university studies there, I then did my medical physics training at CCA Riverina in Wagga Wagga, where I relished being part of a small team providing clinical support to that radiotherapy department. Part of the role is performing return-to-service testing on the radiotherapy treatment machines following any major repair or intervention, and part of the small team dynamic is that everyone needs to be involved in every part of the physics support role. This really instilled in me an appreciation of how my work directly impacts patient outcomes, as our teamwork was essential to getting the machines clinical again and minimising down-time and the flow-on effect to patients. I have since had the incredible privilege of assisting CCA’s expansion into QLD, my home, where I can continue to do my small part in ensuring our patients continue to receive cutting edge treatments. I take great pride in contributing to the cancer treatments at CCA Moreton Bay, in providing confidence for the clinical staff that the radiation prescribed for the patient is being delivered safely and accurately.

Ever wondered what happens after your planning CT scan at CCA MB?

Your Radiation Oncologist prescribes your radiation dose and outlines the tumour target volume to ensure precision accuracy when treating your cancer. They will also outline normal tissue to avoid to reduce side effects. Our Radiation Therapist will then design a radiation plan to meet our doctors prescription. Our physicist will perform quality assurance checks on the treatment machine to ensure what is planned is accurately delivered.

Everyone works as a team to give you the best quality care.

Check in at Cancer Care Griffith.

The team at CCG are excited to be creating a photo wall in both the chemotherapy treatment room and the staff room, helping showcase our team spirit and the moments that make CCG such a special place to work.

See here the team proudly marked Cancer Nurses Day with their signature purple-themed photo, and celebrated Daffodil Day, where members volunteered to help sell daffodils in support of the Cancer Council - a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community and raise awareness.

Here is what Luke Jenkinson, the Centre manager of our newest Cancer Care centre in Moreton Bay, had to say on the momentous opening late last year.

"What an achievement for all involved, [...] creating a much-needed access point for patients who require cancer treatment in the Moreton Bay region. Improving access and removing barriers to care has always been at the front of CCA and this centre follows that direction."

We are pleased to welcome Dr Darsh*t Thaker, who will shortly commence consulting at Cancer Care Moreton Bay. This will be alongside his ongoing roles in oncology and palliative care at Caboolture Public Hospital and Caboolture Private Hospital. This expansion enhances access to comprehensive cancer services in the region, including local radiation therapy, supporting timely, multidisciplinary care closer to home.

We look forward to working together to improve access, convenience and outcomes for patients across Moreton Bay.

Cancer care extends beyond treatment alone. Dave’s words highlight the strength found in connection - family, friends, clinicians and community, all playing a vital role, and something cherished in the Cancer Care community.

With his mates and great support at the hospital and Northern Beaches Cancer Centre becoming his family, Dave says “I’m a lucky man and I know I am.”
