An Iconic Achievement – Icon Cancer Centre Revesby
In 2017, Revesby Workers was honoured with the Health and Wellbeing Award at the Clubs NSW, Clubs and Community Awards for our “Iconic Partnership” with Icon Cancer Care. This partnership ensured the local community has access to critical, life-saving cancer treatment close to home.
Cancer remains a leading health challenge in NSW, with cases rising over 75% in the past 20 years and projected to grow a further 20% by 2036. In Canterbury-Bankstown, lung cancer incidence is above the state average, and it remains the leading cause of cancer death.
Since opening, Icon Cancer Centre Revesby has delivered over 1,000 radiation treatments and 6,000 Day Hospital treatments since mid-2020. Patients do not need private health insurance to access care.
As a community-focused organisation, Icon Cancer Centre Revesby not only provides essential cancer treatment but also actively engages the local community through awareness and fundraising initiatives. This year, they hosted an event to raise awareness of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program with insights from Dr Megan Berry and Dr Mohsen Shafiei. Icon also supports Bowel Cancer Australia, with a dedicated Specialist Nurse onsite, and has raised over $9,000 through recent fundraising events to promote prevention and early detection.
Several oncologists at Icon Revesby also provide care at Bankstown Public Hospital, ensuring continuity of care for local patients. As Bankstown currently lacks a Radiation Oncology department—the nearest public facility is at Liverpool Hospital—Icon is proud to offer timely, comprehensive treatment options at its Revesby centre.
