I get great personal satisfaction from helping to support the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.  My involvement with Peter Mac is driven by a desire to support and foster stronger links between medical research and cancer treatment in Australia.  It is exciting to see what is possible in terms of great outcomes for patients and for doctors and researchers to make great leaps in our understanding of cancer by combining research and treatment in one place.  Without doubt, Peter Mac is one of Australia’s great public institutions and I feel lucky that we can all benefit from the world class care it provides.
