Site Manager - Radiation Oncology Treatment Centre

at  Icon Group

ICON CANCER CENTRE NOOSA EXPECTED TO OPEN FOR FIRST PATIENTS IN MID-2024.

Icon is dedicated to improving access to world-class cancer care services for regions with increased need. The Noosa and Noosa Hinterland region has experienced an annual population growth of 2.3% in the past decade, compared to 1.5% across the state, with over 25% of the region’s population aged 65 years and older. With latest figures showing one in two older Australians will receive a cancer diagnosis by the time they are 85, the region is in desperate need of further cancer care investment.
