Clinical Genomics in SA Plan 2026-2030

The Clinical Genomics SCN is developing a new plan to guide its work as it steers SA to maximise the benefits of the genomic revolution for South Australians.

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.
