Answers & Guidance About Genetic Counselling
At The Genetic Clinic, we specialise in clinical genetic services tailored to your health needs. Whether you’re planning a family or concerned about inherited conditions, our expert genetic counsellors provide comprehensive assessments and informed guidance.
During your appointment at The Genetic Clinic, we’ll begin by gathering health information, including constructing a family tree. Bringing details about your relatives’ health history will aid in our assessment. Depending on your concerns, we may recommend genetic testing via blood tests to evaluate specific conditions.
No referral is necessary to consult with our genetic counsellors at The Genetic Clinic. We welcome individuals seeking proactive genetic advice and those referred by healthcare providers alike.
The initial consultation fee at The Genetic Clinic is $220, with subsequent follow-up appointments priced at $110. Costs associated with genetic testing are separate and will be communicated to you before any tests are conducted.
Currently, private health insurance plans do not cover consultations or genetic testing costs at The Genetic Clinic. Our services are tailored to provide you with personalised genetic insights beyond typical coverage.
While some services offered at The Genetic Clinic may be accessible through major public hospitals in NSW, availability varies. Public system waitlists can extend beyond six months for these specialised genetic services.
No. Our areas of interest are clinical genetics and disease.
