Our team
A genetic counsellor is an allied health professional who provides information and support to individuals and families about genetic conditions, to help them with making decisions about their genetic health. Genetic Counselling is a self-regulated profession whose education, training, and certification is administered by the Human Genetics Society of Australasia (HGSA) Board of Censors for Genetic Counselling, and is governed by the HGSA Code of Ethics and Scope of Practice for Genetic Counsellors. HGSA maintains and regulates a Register of Genetic Counsellors. More details and information are available through the HGSA website.
