About Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is a not-for-profit, comprehensive cancer hospital in Camperdown, Sydney. We offer patients every service and therapy they need including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, complementary therapies and supportive services, all under one roof.

Chris O'Brien Lifehouse treats all types of cancer and specialises in those that are complex and rare. We treat patients from all over the state and provide holistic services like transport and accommodation support to help alleviate the burden of distance and keep families together during challenging times. 

By creating a home away from home for regional patients and their families, we empower more people across the state to go the distance for the best cancer care. 

Where your money goes

Whether you choose to swim, bike, run, or walk, every km you cover will help bring life-changing cancer care closer to home for regional patients at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. 

The funds you raise will help:

- Drive research to find more effective treatments 
- Purchase cutting-edge technology that gives patients the best possible outcomes
- Support holistic support services like transport and accommodation, that ensure the best care is accessible to all people across NSW

When you Go the Distance this September, you bring life-changing care closer to home for regional Australians.
