The Opportunity
Rapid advancements in DNA sequencing and analysis have transformed our understanding of biology, enabling more precise diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease.
A new National Health Genomics Policy Framework and Implementation Plan 2026 – 2030 is being developed and given that the previous SA genomics plan has now expired, it is timely for a new plan to be developed.
Our approach
The new plan will be developed by the Clinical Genomics SCN, building on the previous SA plan and will be guided by the new national genomics framework.
Outcomes
We are developing a plan that guides the work of the Clinical Genomics SCN over the next five years to maximise the health benefits to South Australians from the genomic revolution through better disease prevention, earlier diagnosis and better targeted treatment, while managing the associated risks and social, legal and ethical issues.
