Hi TerryTee
I have recently finished my radiation in the public system in Perth.
You may want to consider asking for a morning or afternoon appointment to fit in with work or kids. I had my appointments late in the afternoon to enable me to fit in work. They will then give you a list of all your appointments for the radiation.

hope it goes well for you 🤗
