Delivering a full range of haematology treatments and procedures with expertise, precision, and compassionate care. All treatments are evidence-based and tailored to individual patient needs.
Therapeutic blood removal for conditions like polycythaemia and haemochromatosis
Venesection (therapeutic phlebotomy) involves the controlled removal of blood to reduce iron overload or elevated red blood cell counts. This procedure is commonly used to manage conditions such as polycythaemia vera, haemochromatosis, and secondary polycythaemia. The procedure is performed safely in our clinic with minimal discomfort and typically takes 20-30 minutes.
Expert bone marrow biopsy and aspiration for diagnostic evaluation
Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration provide essential diagnostic information about blood cell production and bone marrow function. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation available if required. The sample is analysed to diagnose blood disorders, assess disease progression, and guide treatment decisions. Results typically available within 5-7 days.
Safe administration of blood products including red cells, platelets, and plasma
Blood transfusions are administered when patients require red blood cells, platelets, or plasma to manage anaemia, bleeding, or clotting disorders. All transfusions are performed in accordance with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood guidelines with careful monitoring for safety. Pre-transfusion testing ensures compatibility and minimises risks.
Evidence-based chemotherapy protocols for haematological malignancies
Chemotherapy treatment is tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis and disease stage, following the latest evidence-based protocols. Treatment may be administered intravenously or orally, depending on the regimen. Comprehensive supportive care is provided to manage side effects and maintain quality of life throughout treatment.
Intravenous iron therapy for iron deficiency anaemia and malabsorption
Intravenous iron infusions provide rapid and effective treatment for iron deficiency anaemia, particularly when oral iron is ineffective or poorly tolerated. The infusion typically takes 15-30 minutes and is administered in a comfortable outpatient setting. Most patients notice improvement in energy levels within 1-2 weeks.
Advanced targeted immunotherapy treatments for blood cancers
Immunotherapy harnesses the body's immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. These advanced treatments include monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and other targeted therapies. Treatment plans are individualised based on disease type, stage, and molecular characteristics, offering improved outcomes with potentially fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
All treatments are delivered with comprehensive patient education, clear communication about expected outcomes, and ongoing support throughout your care journey. We work closely with your GP and other specialists to ensure coordinated, holistic care.
Every procedure follows strict safety protocols and quality standards. We use the latest evidence-based guidelines and maintain the highest standards of clinical excellence. Your comfort, safety, and wellbeing are our top priorities.
