Learn about GenV: your opportunity to create a healthier future GenV is a research project built by Victorian families for all families. If you join, you will contribute to healthier children, parents, and families in the future.
Improving care and development through world-class research GenV will work in partnership with Victoria’s health organisations to collect data that will enhance researchers' capacity to understand patient outcomes.
Comprehensive research for precision policy and service delivery GenV aims to transform how we conduct research into health and wellbeing, establishing the foundations for new approaches to data-led policy and strategy development, and the strengthening of service delivery.
Our achievements, partners and key people Learn more about GenV’s collaborative partnerships with leading universities, institutes, and service providers, and meet the people who help to bring our exciting vision to life.

The priority is what must be achieved ‘now for now’ (essential to GenV’s immediate functioning) or ‘now for later’ (if not enabled now, would be difficult or impossible to achieve later or would result in substantial missing data). It also notes ‘later for later’ activities that are important but can be deferred until after recruitment without loss of data, utility or value.
