Victorian Infant Collaborative Study

Collaboration
between the Royal Women’s Hospital, Mercy Hospital for Women, Monash Medical Centre, the Royal Children’s Hospital, and Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Longitudinal Studies
and follow-up of babies born prematurely and their journey through childhood into adulthood.

Translate Knowledge
more widely to empower carers and individuals born preterm, and to support clinicians and health care workers to advocate for better understanding and ongoing care and follow-up.
