The State election has now passed.

The Federal Budget has now passed.

We have clinicians ready to work.

We have a purpose-built building ready to go.

We have patients in Australia right now who need proton therapy, but are still being forced to travel overseas to access treatment that should be available here.

And still, here we are, waiting.

Waiting for an answer on the machinery delivery.

Waiting for a decision.

Waiting while families face impossible choices, financial pressure, medical uncertainty and the trauma of leaving home for treatment.

This is not a theoretical issue. It is not a future problem. It is happening now.

Children and adults in Australia need access to proton therapy on Australian soil. The infrastructure is there. The clinical need is clear. The workforce is ready. The patients are waiting.

Federal Government, the decision is with you.

No more delays.
No more uncertainty.
No more pushing this down the road.

Australia needs proton therapy. Patients need an answer. And they need it now.

Please keep signing, sharing and speaking up.

Where you live in Australia should never determine whether you can access best-practice cancer treatment.
