The Federal Government has announced a $70m funding package to enable the development of the Garvan St Vincent’s Cancer Centre. In jointly welcoming the funding announced in last night’s Federal budget, Professor John Shine AO, Executive Director of the Garvan Institute, and Steven Rubic, Chief Executive of St Vincents & Mater Health said this much needed support by the Commonwealth Government would enable construction of the new $100 million state‐of‐the‐art facility to commence within the year.
