VCGS is a specialist genetics service focusing on prenatal, childhood, and adult care. As a not-for-profit subsidiary of Murdoch Children's Research Institute, it contributes to genetic healthcare, research, and policy in Australia. The organization is based in Flemington, New South Wales, and maintains an on-site presence at The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne to provide integrated genetic consultation, counseling, testing, and diagnostic services. Its practice draws on expertise from Melbourne Children's campus partners, including RCH and the University of Melbourne, to support families and prospective parents. Proceeds are reinvested into translational medical research to address complex genetic health challenges. In May 2023, VCGS partnered with Monash Health Partnership to create a resource hub that consolidates genetics resources. The organization is one of the largest contributors to genetic healthcare, research and policy in Australia.
