Cancer services: referrals and treatment

There are five public hospitals in the Northern Territory (NT) and one private hospital located in Darwin. Oncology (cancer) services are provided at three of these hospitals - Royal Darwin, Alice Springs and Darwin Private Hospitals.

The Alan Walker Cancer Care Centre is located within the Royal Darwin Hospital premises.

Treatment for some types of cancers will involve referral to interstate cancer treatment centres as not all can be treated in the NT.
