About the VCCC Alliance

The vision for the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre Alliance (VCCC Alliance) is to save lives through the integration of consumer-engaged cancer research, education and patient care.

Founded in the holistic principles of the internationally-recognised Comprehensive Cancer Centre model, the VCCC Alliance brings together 10 of Victoria’s leading research, academic, and clinical institutions to achieve what can only be done through state-wide collaboration. Together we will improve outcomes in cancer in metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria, and forge new approaches to cancer research, education, and patient care for all.

Operating Environment

The VCCC Alliance’s multi-site, multi-disciplinary model brings together the complementary strengths of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne Health (including The Royal Melbourne Hospital), the University of Melbourne, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, The Royal Women’s Hospital, The Royal Children’s Hospital, Western Health, St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (including St Vincent's Institute), Austin Health (including the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute and Austin Lifesciences) and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.

The VCCC Alliance has a 3.5-year agreement to June 2024 with the Department of Health to develop and implement new and innovative cancer research and treatment programs under an agreed Strategic Program Plan.

Our Team

We are a tight-knit team of staff who form the backbone of the VCCC Alliance, working to facilitate the power of collective impact across the alliance and beyond.

Collective impact underpins ‘how’ we work and how we enable not only the work of the alliance, but how we positively influence the culture of our shared working experience with member organisations. Collective impact starts by defining a shared problem and working together with our members, consumers and partners to codesign a shared vision to solve it.  We agree on actions and how to regularly measure progress, to not only communicate headway but to also allow for continuous learning and improvement.

Our team fosters and coordinates the expertise of the alliance and other partners to encourage and enable collective effort to achieve more than any single entity can achieve on its own.  At the VCCC Alliance, our team, along with our distributed leaders, are the backbone. We are dedicated to facilitating the expertise of the alliance in the ambitious task of implementing sustainable systemic change to continuously improve equitable care and outcomes for cancer patients.
