Based in Perth, Metro Hotel Perth and Metro Hotel Perth City are proud partners of Blue Dot Army – a local organisation transforming the cancer experience through its Change500 initiative. Together, we’re helping create a supportive environment for patients and families who travel to Perth for treatment, offering comfort, care, and community when it’s needed most.
At Metro Hotel Perth and Metro Hotel Perth City, we believe in being more than just a place to stay. We’re proud to support the incredible work of Blue Dot Army, a compassionate and grassroots-driven organisation changing the way people experience cancer treatment, for those who travel to Perth for care – from all over Australia.
Blue Dot Army is on a mission to transform the cancer journey through their Change500 initiative – an ambitious program designed to improve the experience of 500 people undergoing treatment. As of 30 June, they’ve already reached 359 lives impacted, each one a powerful reminder of how small, meaningful gestures can provide strength and dignity during a difficult time.
Once they reach their target, they plan to extend their vision tenfold—to support 5,000 people. Sadly, with so many individuals needing care, that next milestone may come all too quickly. But Blue Dot Army is committed to walking beside them every step of the way.
Metro Hotels is proud to be a Blue Dot Army Hotel partner, offering exclusive accommodation rates with flexible terms and conditions for people travelling to Perth for cancer treatment. We understand the need for comfort, convenience, and flexibility during such a crucial time – and we strive to make each guest feel as supported as possible.
Blue Dot Army’s collaboration with View Health and Chemo @ Home is a groundbreaking step forward in this mission. This partnership offers an Australian-first option that enables people to receive cancer treatment in the comfort of a hotel room – a setting that is more relaxed and personal than traditional hospital environments.
We’re honoured to help enable this experience by providing clean, safe, and welcoming spaces, complete with amenities like in-room microwaves, to make extended stays as comfortable as possible.
Through their dedicated “bank bucket” fund, Blue Dot Army ensures that every dollar donated goes directly toward the essentials – maintaining vehicles, covering petrol, and creating small moments of connection like sharing a coffee or a meal so people don’t feel alone.
You can support their work directly by donating to Change500 via GiveNow. Every contribution helps improve the journey for someone going through one of life’s toughest challenges. At Metro Hotels, we’re proud to stand beside Blue Dot Army in changing the cancer experience – not just for hundreds, but for thousands. If you’d like to help, consider learning more or donating to the Change500 initiative. Together, we can make every step a little easier.
As we celebrate our 50th year, we’re proud to support the communities we’re part of and contribute to causes that make a real difference.
Thanks to the generous support of our guests, together we raised $733 for Blue Dot Army during our June fundraising campaign.
A big thank you to everyone who booked direct and helped support this initiative. Every stay contributed towards helping Blue Dot Army continue their important work assisting communities during times of need, and we’re grateful to have shared this opportunity to give back with our guests.
