00:16 The Canberra Region Cancer Centre of course does support not only the people of the ACT
00:21 but the wider southern New South Wales region with state of the art facilities and highly
00:27 skilled staff and this means that we're delivering care closer to home here in the ACT.
00:33 So the types of treatment where people a decade or two ago would have had to go to Sydney
00:38 for treatment are now able to be delivered right here with highly personalised treatment
00:44 on state of the art equipment with a fantastic highly skilled multidisciplinary team supporting that.
00:51 Our skilled staff work very closely together to ensure that patients are getting the care they need in a timely way
00:58 and this machine alongside the other three Linax is ensuring that people can get that very very highly targeted treatment.
