The Victorian Government has established a State regulatory framework for biotechnology that sits within the national framework. The State framework includes a high-level Senior Officers’ Group (SOG) and an independent ethics advisory committee. The Victorian Biotechnology Ethics Advisory Committee (VBEAC) and the Chair of the SOG report directly to the Minister for Health as Victoria’s lead Minister for biotechnology safety and ethics.
