Australia’s premier cancer clinical trials centre
Our story
The establishment of NORTH STAR VNP was made possible thanks to a $20 million donation from Greg Poche AO and the late Kay Van Norton Poche AO. Kay had an unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare and finding a cure for cancer.
The best and brightest minds in oncology, cancer research and science have been working together to bring Kay and Greg’s vision to life.
As part of this vision, we will see a fast tracking of life saving clinical trials from MSK directly to patients across Australia, particularly those who live in rural and remote communities.
We are honoured to add NORTH STAR VNP to our world and will forever be indebted to the foresight, generosity, and kindness of both Greg and Kay for being that shining light for so many.
