The Victorian Childhood Cancer Outcomes Registry (VCCOR)
VCCOR is an opportunity to improve care and long-term treatment outcomes for paediatric cancer patients.
What is VCCOR?
The Victorian Childhood Cancer Outcomes Registry (VCCOR) is a platform that tracks the care and outcomes of all children and adolescents treated for cancer in Victoria.
It combines data that is already collected across Victoria’s health services into one secure database. This will build a more complete picture of how childhood cancer and its treatments affect patients.
This information will be used to improve health services and childhood cancer research, to drive optimal cancer care and outcomes for future patients and their families.
Registry overview
VCCOR is a complete service improvement, quality monitoring and research data platform. It represents a transformative advance in the collection and integration of cancer patient data across Victoria’s paediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) health services.
VCCOR’s model delivers a unique combination of depth, flexibility, and future-readiness critical for modern cancer care, research, and policy. It enables highly granular analysis of data that already exists, covering the entire patient journey – from initial diagnosis and treatment to long-term follow-up of health and quality of life outcomes, and late effects surveillance.
