BAROC has strong linkages with Metropolitan Tertiary Cancer Centres, in particular Austin Health Radiation Oncology (AHRO) with whom we share dedicated Chart Rounds providing support and shared expertise in the treatment of Head & Neck and Gynaecological malignancies, as well as patients for treatment with Stereotactic Techniques (intracranial and extracranial).
