Genetic Information Seminars

A range of seminars aiming to inform individuals and families about the latest information, support services and updates regarding particular conditions

GA organises information seminars that are general or for specific genetic conditions. This includes but is not limited to research opportunities, medical updates, support services available, symptom alleviation/treatment progress.

Typically, presentations are provided by medical professionals, geneticists, genetic counsellors and support services. There are opportunities to ask questions and talk to the presenters during breaks. The seminars normally run for the whole day, with refreshments provided. There is no cost to attend.

It is also a chance for people to meet others in caring roles or with the same condition, to share stories and experiences, and to reduce the isolation.

The seminars are a chance for individuals, families and carers to ask questions from health professionals and service providers in a comfortable, non-non-threatening and non-medical environment.
