Simon J. Harrison is a hematologist-oncologist based at 305 Grattan Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000. He works with people who have blood-related cancers and other serious problems that need close specialist care. This can include conditions like multiple myeloma, leukaemias, and lymphomas, as well as issues that can come with low blood counts.
In many cases, his role is about helping with both treatment and day-to-day safety. That means looking at things like infection risk, recovery, and managing side effects. Febrile neutropenia is one example where quick decisions and careful monitoring really matter. He also helps people who may need more intensive care such as a bone marrow transplant.
Simon also sees patients with ongoing or harder-to-control disease, including relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. At times, he’ll help with planning around supportive care too, especially when symptoms such as bone pain, high calcium, or kidney strain show up.
Because blood conditions can affect the whole body, the visits are usually practical and focused. Expect clear discussions about what’s happening, what the treatment options are, and what to watch for at home. He takes a calm approach when things feel uncertain. Over time, that can make a big difference, especially for families going through treatment together.
Simon’s training and clinical work are grounded in haematology and oncology care. The main goal is simple: work out the diagnosis properly, then match the treatment plan to the person in front of him, not just the test results.
Research can come up now and then, particularly when new therapies are becoming available. Clinical trial details can be discussed when they’re relevant, including what the process looks like and how eligibility is checked. The focus stays on what will help most for each situation.
If you’re looking for a specialist who can manage complex blood and cancer care in a straightforward, no-fuss way, Simon J. Harrison is based in the heart of Melbourne and available for appointments.
