VCCOR data access and research guidelines

This resource has been developed by PICS, Victoria’s Paediatric Integrated Cancer Service. 

This document outlines the key considerations that guide research, data access, and publication in relation to the Victorian Childhood Cancer Outcomes Registry (VCCOR).

It describes the criteria, conditions, and limitations that apply to the release of registry data. These considerations are designed to safeguard against breaches of privacy and to ensure that any use of VCCOR data is consistent with approved ethics, governance requirements, and relevant legal obligations.

The guideline ensures that data access is managed responsibly, with a focus on protecting confidentiality, maintaining compliance, and supporting VCCOR utilisation.
