How Much Does Chemotherapy for breast cancer Cost in Republic of Korea in AUD?

Chemotherapy for breast cancer in the Republic of Korea costs from AUD $27,681 to AUD $59,111 on average. Final expenses vary based on the specific drug protocols, hospital tier, and whether patients require advanced targeted therapies or immunotherapy. In Australia, patients often face high private out-of-pocket costs or long public waitlists, where similar full treatment courses can cost AUD $48,298. Australians typically save around 43% by choosing leading centres in Seoul or Incheon. Standard inclusions usually cover the medication, specialist consultations, and basic laboratory tests.

  • Targeted therapy: usually adds a premium of 50% or more compared to standard cytotoxic drugs.
  • Hospital tier: university hospitals in Seoul typically charge 15–20% more than regional oncology centres.
  • Diagnostic imaging: PET-CT and MRI scans commonly add between A$1,300 and A$2,700 to the total.
  • Medical hubs: most international patients choose Seoul for its concentration of Newsweek-ranked university hospitals.

Bookimed Expert Insight: High-tier Seoul hospitals provide presidential-standard care at a lower cost than Australian private facilities. Samsung Medical Center and Severance Hospital consistently rank in Newsweek’s World's Best Hospitals. Patients can access new clinical drugs through specialists like Dr. Cho Byung Chul.

"I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people
I have breast cancer and I went through chemotherapy in Moscow. Six sessions have passed. It was very difficult to tolerate these procedures. A doctor in Kazakhstan said that this is enough, it is necessary to switch to tableted chemistry. And Moscow offered to continue doing chemotherapy. Opinions are divided. It was necessary to find a third party. I accidentally found your site on the Internet. Ekaterina Koliko wrote very quickly. The benevolence of Katyusha was immediately arranged towards her. She asked me what I would like to go to. I said that I want to go to the Severance clinic in Korea. Katyusha approved my choice. I sent all the necessary documents and Katyusha quickly redirected everything to the clinic. They began to wait for the invitation. For some reason (and for what I already knew in the clinic), there was no invitation. I am very grateful to Katyusha that she was in touch all the time, supported me, gave me hope. We arrived in Seoul in the morning, we were met by a transfer, brought to the hotel. After lunch, they were already in the clinic, I began to take tests. Constantly with me was one of the translators. Girls translators are great fellows, these are Lida, Olesya, Sofia, Tatyana, Alena. Any question could be addressed, they always prompted. They are professionals. Always with a smile, polite, with enormous patience, and most importantly, they understand that they work with a special audience, with people who did not come to rest. Someone to find out the diagnosis, and someone to do the operation. Thank you so much to the girls. The clinic was impressive. Doctors are professionals. The equipment is super. I got the opinion of a third party, it coincided with the opinion of a doctor from Kazakhstan. I was prescribed a prescription, I bought medicines at the pharmacy and started drinking on arrival home. I also want to write about Darina, who was engaged in transfer (the transfer to the clinic was very convenient and met and carried out), the selection of the hotel was also always in touch, and if I had any questions, she quickly answered them. I want to say that I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people. I am grateful to the Almighty and all who were near me. And the words of the doctor gave me inspiration and inspired great hope, for the sake of these words it was worth a long way to go. Once again, many thanks to all.

My recommendations to friends, acquaintances only this Clinic! The prices are reasonable
Good day! I would like to share my impressions of being in the clinic. Thanks to the coordinators, the staff of the international clinic center, all wishes were taken into account. Special thanks to the attending physician, the procedure was perfect, the staff is very attentive, courteous. They are located in a 5-bed room, but at the same time there is no discomfort, food can be chosen taking into account personal taste preferences (Korean, European cuisine) and at the same time satisfying and varied. I can say one thing, there is no limit to my gratitude, my recommendations to friends, acquaintances only this Clinic! The prices are reasonable.

"The results were unbelievably positive!"
The staff is nice, but everything is on stream, as it does not take my problem seriously, as much as I would like! After my husband insistently said that it would be necessary to do so, so this, then after that we were heard.
