A/Prof Peter Gorayski is an experienced radiation oncologist committed to providing high-quality, individualised care. He is known for his thoughtful, patient-centred approach and takes the time to understand each person’s needs and concerns. His focus is on building trust, communicating clearly, and supporting patients and their families through every stage of treatment.

Associate Professor Peter Gorayski is a senior radiation oncologist consulting at Icon Cancer Centre Windsor Gardens, Adelaide Kurralta Park and Noarlunga. With dual qualifications in general practice and radiation oncology, he brings a broad, patient-centred perspective to care. His clinical interests span head and neck cancer, central nervous system tumours, genitourinary and skin malignancies, as well as select benign conditions such as osteoarthritis and Dupuytren’s disease.

Peter collaborates closely with GPs and specialists to provide timely, well-coordinated care across all stages of disease – from curative treatment in early-stage cancers to palliative radiotherapy for symptom relief in advanced cases. He has particular expertise in the management of skin cancers, offering a full range of radiation therapy techniques including external beam, superficial X-ray, and brachytherapy.

Peter holds a public appointment at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and is also affiliated with the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research. He remains actively involved in clinical research and planning support for patients being considered for proton therapy overseas through the Medical Treatment Overseas Program (MTOP). His expertise in this area ensures patients receive carefully individualised radiotherapy plans guided by the latest evidence and comparative dosimetry.

Peter plays an active role in national research, education, and policy development. He is a member of the Faculty of Radiation Oncology Council at the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) and serves on the RANZCR Particle Therapy Working Group. He also sits on the Scientific Advisory Committee (TSC) of the Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group (TROG) and holds an academic appointment at the University of South Australia, where he supervises PhD students.
