Construction of the $658 million Sydney Children’s Hospital Stage One and MCCCC Project Has Reached Completion
Children’s Cancer Institute shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Construction of the $658 million Sydney Children’s Hospital Stage One and Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre (MCCCC) project has reached completion.
The MCCCC brings together leading clinicians, researchers and educators under one roof, with contemporary health facilities, laboratories and spaces for families to connect while navigating their healthcare needs.
In a first for Australia, childhood cancer research and the clinical care of children with cancer will integrate into one paediatric facility, accelerating the translation of research discovery into improved clinical practice.
The MCCCC will be housed within the new hospital building and adjacent UNSW Health Translation Hub. It will be the new home for Children’s Cancer Institute, with researchers working side-by-side with their clinical partners at the Kids Cancer Centre.
The Centre will include advanced laboratory spaces and deliver integrated, specialist cancer treatment, education and research programs, with this aim to transform childhood cancer treatment and become one of the world’s leading paediatric cancer centres.
Professor Michelle Haber AM, Executive Director of Children’s Cancer Institute said the MCCCC would transform the way children with cancer are treated.
“This marks a monumental milestone in our mission to cure every child of cancer. The Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre will be the first in Australia entirely focused on improving the outcomes for children with cancer by combining globally leading research with exceptional clinical care. With construction now complete, we are one step closer to realising a vision where researchers, clinicians, clinician-scientists, allied health workers and educators are united under one roof with a single purpose of curing children with cancer and giving them a better quality of life.
“This is more than a building — it’s a generational opportunity for research and clinical care to come together to deliver world-leading outcomes for children.”
Federal and NSW Governments have partnered with Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network and Children’s Cancer Institute on this building project. It’s being delivered by Health Infrastructure and John Holland, with philanthropic contributions from Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) and Minderoo Foundation.
