Long-term study of Victorian children and families from birth

Generation Victoria is a large, long-term health study that will follow thousands of Victorian children and their families over many years. Researchers will collect information about your family's health, lifestyle, and environment, plus small biological samples (like blood spots), to understand what helps children develop well and stay healthy. This study isn't testing a new medication—it's gathering real-world information to answer big questions about child health and wellbeing.

Researchers want to understand all the different things that affect children's health—from pregnancy through childhood and beyond. By following families over time and learning about their experiences, genetics, environment, and health, scientists can discover what helps prevent disease and supports healthy development, and eventually create better programs and treatments for all children.
