About Perth IO

Perth IO was established with a singular vision: to bridge the gap between groundbreaking global oncology research and clinical application in Western Australia. We operate as both a dedicated treatment practice and an active research laboratory. This dual approach ensures that our patients have access to not only standard-of-care protocols, but also novel therapeutic methods and clinical trials tailored to their specific biological profile.

Dr Peter Lau
Lead Oncologist & Founder

Dr Peter Lau

Dr Peter Lau is a globally respected leader within the Australian medical community, recognized for his pioneering work in integrating novel immunotherapies and targeted treatments into standard oncology practice.

With over two decades of experience spanning clinical care and laboratory research, Dr Lau has been instrumental in developing protocols that have improved patient outcomes across multiple tumor streams. His philosophy is deeply rooted in viewing the patient holistically—treating the person, not just the diagnosis—while utilizing the most advanced scientific tools available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see Dr Lau?
Yes. To be seen at Perth IO and to be eligible for Medicare rebates, a valid referral from a General Practitioner (GP) or another specialist doctor is required prior to your initial consultation.
How long does the initial consultation take?
We schedule 45-60 minutes for initial consultations. This ensures ample time for Dr Lau to thoroughly review your history, explain complex concepts clearly, and allow you and your family to ask any questions without feeling rushed.
Are clinical trials right for everyone?
Clinical trials are an excellent option for many, offering access to tomorrow's treatments today. However, eligibility depends strictly on specific criteria relating to your tumor type, previous treatments, and overall health. Dr Lau will discuss if there is a suitable trial for your specific situation.
Can family members attend appointments?
Absolutely. We encourage bringing a family member or close friend to your appointments. They provide emotional support and can help remember the detailed information discussed during consultations.
