It and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre run one integrated clinical haematology service: at the RMH the team focuses on allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, inpatient care for acute leukaemia and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and non-malignant haematology, while lymphoma, myeloma and autologous transplant, myeloproliferative neoplasms and survivorship are based at Peter Mac. A joint Director of Clinical Haematology for both hospitals, Professor Geoffrey Hill, was announced to start in December 2026.
