A review and consultation by research network Australian Genomics has led to a National Clinical Genomic Consent Form that will help to standardise practices around patient consent across the country. From today these are available and able to be adapted at a local level.

The pilot project will screen 10,000 couples for their chance of having children with severe genetic conditions.

Australian Genomics has been named a key Driver Project for the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH), recognizing Australia’s leadership in integrating genomics into healthcare.

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has announced a $25 million commitment to support the integration of genomic medicine into healthcare across Australia.
