The UGICR is housed in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (SPHPM) at Monash University. The operational team are part of the Cancer Research Program headed by Professor John Zalcberg. Clinical oversight and registry support are provided to the operational team by a Steering Committee and three clinical working parties.

The Steering Committee oversees corporate and clinical governance and promote activities within the registry.  The committee meets at least twice a year and is responsible for overseeing the registry. The committee provides oversight of the registry’s activities including ensuring that the quality of data is monitored and that policies are established to address issues of clinical interest or significance that may arise, including those relating to quality of care. The committee comprises project investigators, senior clinicians, senior registry and staff from SPHPM and two consumer representatives.

Three working groups provide clinical guidance on the development of each registry module. The Hepatopancreatobiliary Working Group advises on the pancreatic and biliary cancer modules. The Oesophagogastric Working Group advises on the oesophageal and gastric cancer modules. The Primary Liver Working Group advises on the primary liver cancer module.
