Victorians to get greater access to world-leading genomic sequencing tests

Home All news & events News Victorians to get greater access to…

The Victorian Government has announced it will provide $8.3m in its 2017/18 budget to fund public access to genomic sequencing tests for Victorian children and adults. This funding means Victorians will have access to clinical genetic consultations, genetic counselling, multi-disciplinary care, and genomic sequencing currently not funded under Medicare. The clinical care will largely be provided by specialists at The Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Children’s Hospital and genomic sequencing conducted by accredited laboratories.
