Learn about GenV: your opportunity to create a healthier futureGenV is a research project for expecting parents and newborn babies, happening from 2020 to 2022 in Victoria. If you join, you will contribute to healthier children, parents, and families in the future.
Improving care and development through world-class researchGenV 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 deliveryGenV 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 peopleLearn 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.

GenV enables researchers to explore the issues affecting Victoria’s children and their families with greater speed and precision than we can today.GenV will allow researchers to explore the critical links between environmental exposures, genome (genetics), physical characteristics and later outcomes across the life course, offering them the opportunity to increase the speed, precision and power of their work.Understanding GenVFind out more about our unique approach and help us build a legacy of better, faster solutions.Contact usWhy GenV is significant to researchThe benefits of the GenV Data RepositoryAbout the GenV BiobankBuild GenV’s impact through researchEnquire about the data A whole-of-state birth and parent cohort Why GenV is significant to research GenV’s primary objective is to create large, parallel whole-of-state birth and parent cohorts for discovery and interventional research. GenV will generate translatable evidence—including novel approaches to prediction, prevention, treatments, and services—to improve future wellbeing and reduce the future disease burden of all children and the adults they become. Find out more accelerated discovery and implementation The benefits of the GenV Data Repository The datasets created by GenV’s high-uptake, high-retention, parallel whole-of-state parent and child cohorts will be a significant resource to researchers, service providers and policy makers. With this data, we can largely eliminate cohort attrition, building models based total populations or any subgroups therein, accelerating the discovery and implementation of solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing future generations of children. Find out more World-class infrastructure About the GenV Biobank When storing and using bio-samples on the scale of GenV—a state-wide cohort of up to 170,000 newborns and their parents—you need the infrastructure to build both the storage capacity and the ability to accurately retrieve samples for use in research. The GenV Biobank offers both. Find out more The GenV Solutions Hub Build GenV’s impact through research The GenV Solutions Hub is designed as the “engine room” of GenV’s impact. It drives GenV’s science, people capacity, knowledge translation, and enables broad-based funding for GenV’s analysis and research in a dynamic collaborative space to meet changing environments and new opportunities.
