About Ray of Hope Australia

Founded by experienced radiation therapists who witnessed firsthand the gap in patient support services

Our Story

Ray of Hope Australia was founded by three experienced radiation therapists who witnessed firsthand the gap in patient support services, particularly for those being treated in the private healthcare sector.

With over 30 years of clinical experience and 15+ years specializing in education, our founders recognized that while radiation therapy technology has advanced dramatically, patient support has not kept pace. Too many patients were facing treatment confused, anxious, and overwhelmed by navigating complex healthcare systems alone.

We created Ray of Hope to change that.

Our mission is simple: to empower every radiation therapy patient with the knowledge, support, and coordination they need to approach treatment with confidence rather than fear.
