This was the first time the men's Victorian Open and women's Victorian Open were held concurrently - making it the only professional golf tournament in the world where men and women played the same courses, at the same time, for equal prize money.

In 2013, the men's and women's Victorian Opens moved to 13th Beach Golf Links in Barwon Heads, southwest of Melbourne, near the southwest shore (Bass Strait) of the Bellarine Peninsula.

When the tournament moved to 13th Beach Golf Links in 2013, the combined prize pool was A$300,000, with $150,000 on offer for each of the men's and women's fields.

In six years, the total prize pool has increased ten-fold, with the 2019 men's and women's Victorian Open fields to be playing for a total purse of $3 million ($1.5 million each).

In 2017 and 2018, the event were co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and the ALPG Tour. Like its men's counterpart, it is a two-cut tournament. The field is reduced to 60 after the second round and 35 after the third round; those who fail to make the second cut earn prize money.

The event was co-sanctioned by the LPGA Tour in 2019 and 2020. It is played alongside the men's Victorian Open. The double cut continues; 65 players will remain after the first cut, then 35 players after the Saturday cut.^[2]
