It brings together a collaborative team of experts in Australia to lead the precision medicine research programmes. 

According to the NSW government, precision medicine, a scientific approach that tailors treatment to individual patient profiles, including genetic makeup, is at the core of the new clinic’s services.  

This method also considers clinical, lifestyle, and environmental factors, aiming to match patients with the most effective treatments or clinical trials.

The NSW government also noted that the Precision Care Clinic is designed to address existing challenges faced by healthcare professionals in delivering precision care to patients.  

The opening of the clinic is a collaborative effort involving the Prince of Wales Hospital & South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, the UNSW School of Population Health, Omico, Cancer Voices NSW, the University of Sydney, the Australian Catholic University, and Macquarie University.  

The establishment of the new clinic is also a part of the federal government’s five-year plan to establish multiple precision care clinics across Australia through an A$5.8m ($3.7m) grant from the Medical Research Future Fund Rapid Applied Research Translation scheme. 

Australia Health Minister Mark Butler said: “The opening of this new facility is a major step towards changing the way we approach cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. 

“This innovative cancer clinic will combine genomic research and implementation science to ensure the benefits of precision medicine are effectively translated into improved health outcomes for people with cancer across Australia.”
