CLIFF ROCK RESOURCES CORP.
This Information Statement is being mailed to holders of record of shares of common stock of Cliff Rock Resources Corp. (the “ Company ”, “Cliff Rock,” “ we ”, “ us ” or “ our ”), a Nevada corporation as of June 9, 2010, pursuant to the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.
Background
On May 27, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition (the “Acquistion”) of Virtual Medical Centre, Limited, an Australian corporation (“VMC”) under the terms of a definitive Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). The Exchange Agreement requires a change in the composition of our board of directors (the “Board”). The following is a brief summary of the Acquisition.
On May 27, 2010, the Company and VMC entered into the Exchange Agreement pursuant to which each issued and outstanding ordinary share of VMC (the “VMC Shares”) was exchanged into that number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Company Shares”) equal to 71,471,764 divided by the total number of VMC Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto (the “Exchange”), so that after giving effect to the Exchange, the Company became the holder of all of the issued and outstanding VMC Shares. Pursuant to the Exchange, a total of 71,471,764 Company Shares were issued to VMC’s stockholders.
Upon completion of the Acquisition, a total of 84,253,764 Company Shares were issued and outstanding.
Before the closing of the Acquisition, our Board consisted of one director, Dr. Michael Raymont. In connection with the Acquisition, Dr. Raymont resigned as a member of our Board effective upon the appointment and qualification of his successors, which will not occur until ten (10) days from the mailing of this information statement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Andrew Dean and Clifford Rosenberg were appointed to replace Dr. Raymont as directors of the Company.
The description of the foregoing transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Exchange Agreement filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 28, 2010.
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. PROXIES ARE NOT BEING SOLICITED. YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT CAREFULLY. YOU ARE NOT, HOWEVER, REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY ACTION. |
VOTING SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
As of June 9, 2010 (the “Record Date”), there were 84,253,764 Company Shares issued and outstanding. Each Company Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

NEW DIRECTORS
Dr. Raymont was appointed a director of the Company on October 26, 2009 and resigned as a director on May 27, 2010, effective upon appointment and qualification of his successors. No less that ten (10) days after this information statement is mailed to stockholders of record of the Company as of the Record Date, the appointment of Mr. Dean and Mr. Rosenberg as directors of the Company will become effective.
Set forth below is biographical information for each director nominee:

He also serves as a Medical Oncologist at St. John God Oncology, Subiaco & Perth Oncology, where he began to provide his services in 2007.

Board Meetings and Committees
Our Board has held no formal meetings during the last 12 months. All proceedings of the Board were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada Revised Statutes and the by-laws of the Company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. We do not presently have a policy regarding director attendance at meetings.
We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. As we have been a shell corporation, our former Board believed that it was not necessary to have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees because the functions of such committees were adequately performed by the Board. The directors who perform the functions of auditing, nominating and compensation committees are not independent because they are also officers of the Company.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our Board determines executive compensation and does not delegate this responsibility to non-members of the Board. Dr. Raymont is the sole director responsible for deliberations of executive compensation decisions.
