Consultation open for Genetic Health WA Service Plan

Genetic Health WA (GHWA) is seeking feedback on GHWA’s inaugural draft service plan.

Based at our King Edward Memorial Hospital, GHWA provides genetic counselling, genetic testing, and family planning support for people impacted by certain genetic conditions.

The plan outlines the future direction of the service to support Western Australians and aims to enhance the experience of those who use it.

Stakeholders are encouraged to read the draft service plan and provide feedback via a short survey (external site).

All responses will remain confidential and will only be used to inform the final service plan.

Consultation closes on 31 May 2024.

The draft service plan has been informed by feedback received from more than 300 GHWA stakeholders, including consumers and carers, GHWA staff, medical specialists and primary care providers, and representatives from patient organisations and health service providers.
