About Ray of Hope

What is Ray of Hope Australia?

Ray of Hope is a patient support service specializing in education, coordination, and advocacy for people undergoing radiation therapy. We're registered radiation therapists with over 30 years of experience, dedicated to helping patients navigate treatment with confidence.

How is Ray of Hope different from the support I receive at my radiation center?

While your radiation therapy team provides excellent clinical care, they often have limited time for extensive education and coordination due to busy schedules. Ray of Hope provides dedicated, unhurried support focused entirely on your education and navigation needs. We complement (not replace) your clinical team.

Do you provide radiation therapy treatment?

No. We are a support service only. We do not provide clinical radiation therapy treatment or medical advice. We work in partnership with your radiation oncology team to enhance your experience through education and coordination.
