Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre

The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) is a purpose built centre of excellence, delivered as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) under the Government’s Partnerships Victoria framework. This world class facility has been specifically designed to support translational research, education and comprehensive cancer care and is located within the prestigious Melbourne Biomedical Precinct in Parkville. The building brings together a network of partners including Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne Health and University of Melbourne to form the VCCC Alliance. This “network” is reflected in the spiralling forms expressed across the façade of the building, and also in the organically formed atrium within. Make an iconic statement and attract the best cancer clinicians and researchers from across the world.

The facility is designed to deliver maximum seamless care and research and provides 90,000m2 across 13 floor above ground and 4 basement levels for carparking, services and radiotherapy. The VCCC extends its connections across to the Royal Melbourne Hospital campus, with 3 bridge links connecting patients, services and staff across Grattan Street. This reinforces the precinct and fosters collaborations and connection. 

The clinical component across both buildings includes 160 overnight beds (72% single), with a 42 bed intensive care unit, 110 chemotherapy places, 24 bed clinical trials unit, country patient accommodation and 8 radiotherapy bunkers. An education floor sits in the middle of the main VCCC building and provides world education training facilities.
