[Dr Laura Yeates @LauraYeates1]

@ScienceHelen Thanks so much!! Such a great day!

[Dr Laura Yeates @LauraYeates1]

The @HGSAAustralasia are doing great work to try and change this. Medicare rebates for genetic counsellors would increase services and reduce waiting times for families - so hopefully there is change coming soon! 🧬❤️

[Dr Laura Yeates @LauraYeates1]

Happy Genetic Counsellor Awarenesa day!
I love today! I get to don on my GCAD t-shirt and rabbit on about why I love my job so much! (Like I’m not happy to do that every day 😉).

[Dr Laura Yeates @LauraYeates1]

Did you know in Aus there are no Medicare rebates to see a genetic counsellor? Even though most Medicare funded genetic tests recommend genetic counselling. Whilst you can access a genetic counsellor through your local genetics service, these often have long waits times. 🗓️
