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. By leveraging a nationwide network of expertise and resources, we aim to improve outcomes for all Australian cancer patients. 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

video_icon

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

How our molecular screening works

If you or someone you know has advanced, incurable or an earlier diagnosis of a poor prognosis cancer or is at high-risk for cancer (due to hereditary conditions) then:

  • Your doctor completes an online referral form
  • You sign a consent form
  • Omico assesses the genes and other molecules in your cancer tissue
  • Our experts match results to an existing therapy or clinical trial of a new drug
  • Process takes 8 to 10 weeks

Our Progress

16,308 Patients Screened
849 Referring Clinicians
9,143 Patients with a treatment recommendation
1,506 Patients accessing a matched therapy
