Haematology

We treat and care for people with blood disorders.

What we do

We provide cancer care and treatment to South Australians and surrounding states. Services are provided in outpatient, inpatient, and community settings.

The Haematology department manages patients with a range of malignant and non-malignant conditions of the blood, bone marrow and lymphoid tissues.

Haematology provides chemotherapy, supportive care and other medications including targeted therapies.

We operate as a single service at both the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH). Both sites operate a Chemotherapy Day Centre for infusions and treatment and a Home Therapy service for eligible patients. Inpatient care is provided at the RAH.
