Together, cancer meets its match
Omico is changing the way we fight cancer by accelerating access to precision oncology. We are a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation, uniting Australia’s world-class cancer institutes, researchers, clinicians, industry partners and government like never before.

With fast-tracked molecular and genomic screening, biomarker-led trial set up and patient enrolment from the entire nation, we’re accelerating access to next generation treatments and preventive strategies.
What we do
We aim to improve outcomes for Australians living with cancers, by:
- Increasing access to genomic profiling to detect unique genetic variations in cancer patients’ tumours to identify potential matches to new targeted treatments options
- Growing and streamlining biomarker-led clinical trials by expediting patient recruitment and site setup, and attracting more international trials to Australia, facilitating faster transitions from discovery to clinical application
- Advancing a research-led model of care as to open new treatment pathways for patients, and supporting drug development and cancer research through the collection of real-world data
