#GCAwarenessDay
ALT Genetic Counsellor Awareness Day 2022 on green and backgrounds with a DNA double helix. What does a genetic counsellor do? Provides expert advice in genetics and genomics, explains testing options and results, helps patients make informed decisions, supports patients and families to adapt to genetic information, and more... How do you describe your job? I am a genetic counsellor.

It's not often I see sunrise from this side anymore 🌄 but worth it to talk to @CAGC_ACCG about regulation for #geneticcounsellors, and hear how much we have in common. Hope it's in person next time! @GCOntario @jessharts @3_Wee_Monkeys #CAGC2022 #genechat #Iamageneticcounsellor

Do you think access to a GC is important? The MRAC is taking feedback from the public, including SWAN families. Info on making a submission (due Oct 7) can be found here: bit.ly/3QpODPb

People often ask me why there are no Medicare rebates to see a genetic counsellor. We've been working hard to change that! This public consultation is a way to have your say, and is open to anyone (individual or organisation)! #healthcare #genetics #geneticcounselling
We currently have an application in to MRAC for an MBS provide number for professional genetic counselling by HGSA registered #GeneticCounsellors. Public consultation is open to all and we need your support! For details hgsa.org.au/hgsanews/public-…
