Southern Medical Day Care Centre

Welcome to Southern Medical Day Care Centre (SMDCC), located at 57 Urunga Parade in Wollongong, Australia. As a leading institution in the field of healthcare, we provide exceptional medical services and care to our patients in Wollongong and the surrounding area.

At SMDCC, we understand the importance of convenience for our patients. That is why we offer two car parks, one at the front and one at the rear of the building. Our Crown Street car park has limited spaces, but we also have rear parking available on Urunga Parade. If needed, you can ask your driver to drop you off and park in the rear parking area.

For your first treatment appointment day, we recommend arranging for someone to drive you to and from our facility. Depending on the medications involved in your treatment, you may be able to drive yourself for subsequent visits.

Southern Medical Day Care Centre was established with the goal of providing unparalleled, comprehensive care in a modern and comfortable environment. Our team of doctors at Cancer Care Associates specializes in cancer treatment and has extensive experience in identifying the unique aspects of each patient's cancer. If chemotherapy is determined to be the best treatment option for you, our care team will select the most effective drugs for your specific situation.

When developing your treatment plan, our care team considers various factors, such as the type and origin of your cancer, microscopic analysis of the cancer cells, and the presence of any spreading. They can also offer strategies to manage symptoms, adjust medication dosages, or explore alternative treatment options.

Traditional chemotherapy disrupts the cell cycle to prevent cancerous cells from maturing and dividing. Immunotherapy drugs, on the other hand, enhance your body's immune system to fight against cancer. Targeted therapies, although technically a form of chemotherapy, work by attacking or blocking specific targets on cancer cells to prevent their growth. These therapies are tested during your biopsy or surgery to determine their suitability for your treatment plan.

In addition to our expertise in cancer care, our team includes hematologists who specialize in diagnosing and treating blood disorders, including blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. They utilize various diagnostic tests and treatments, such as chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and targeted therapy, to effectively manage and treat these conditions.

At Cancer Care Associates, we pride ourselves on delivering excellence in cancer care. Our highly skilled multi-disciplinary team is dedicated to providing personalized and compassionate care to each patient we serve. We also acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation, their cultural practices, and the ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
