Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation
Each day families Australia wide fight a cancer battle, and each day the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre team strive to provide the best research and cancer care. For a number of years now Vectron has been supporting Peter Mac as a Founding Patron of the Peter Mac Endowment Fund. This fund provides perpetual income to fund innovative research projects, state-of-the-art equipment and other cutting-edge programs. We value the research work they carry out and believe it’s up to all corporations to support the endeavours of organisations like Peter Mac.
Earlier this year Vectron attended a presentation by Prof. Joseph Trapani Executive Director, Cancer Research on the new state of the art centre where their 65 year history of caring for our community has been transformed into an integrated research, treatment and education centre. The new centre combines the care of people effected by cancer and the globally renowned ground-breaking research centre.
