What we do

Genetic Testing

For patients across Thirroul & the northern Illawarra.

What’s included

  • A consultation before testing, so you understand what a result will and will not tell you.
  • On-site collection through our pathology provider.
  • Results explained in person by a GP who knows your history, rather than sent to you cold.
  • Established referral pathways for BRCA testing and specialist genetic counselling.
How it works

How we deliver

Consultation first. Genetic testing starts with a discussion, not a sampleyour GP explains what a test can and cannot tell you.

Choosing the test. Your GP recommends the test that fits your question, your history and your family history.
3
Sample collection. Collection is available on site through our pathology provider.
4
Results consultation. Results are explained in a follow-up appointment, with their implications for you and your family.
5
Referral where needed. If a familial cancer risk is identified, your GP can refer you for BRCA testing and specialist genetic counselling.
Pricing

Honest, up-front pricing

Quoted up front

Our doctors are independent practitioners and set their own fees. Reception can advise the fee policy of the doctor you are seeing, but cannot confirm the exact amount before your visit — your doctor selects the Medicare item number on the day, based on the length and complexity of the consultation. Many genetic tests are not covered by Medicare and carry a significant out-of-pocket cost. Your GP will explain the likely cost before any test is arranged. Your GP can also discuss the wider implications of genetic testing, including questions patients often raise about insurance. Fees are payable on the day by EFTPOS or credit card. We can transmit your Medicare claim electronically so your rebate is returned the same day.

How are fees set?

Is genetic testing covered by Medicare?
Many genetic tests are not, and can carry a significant out-of-pocket cost. Your GP will explain the likely cost before arranging anything.
How long do results take?
This varies considerably by test. Your GP will tell you what to expect and arrange a follow-up appointment to discuss the result.
Are there implications I should think about first?
Yes — genetic results can have implications for you and your family, and patients often have questions about insurance. Your GP will discuss these with you before testing.
Can I be referred for BRCA testing?
Yes. Where your history indicates a familial cancer risk, your GP can arrange referral.
What genetic testing do you offer?
Pre-pregnancy (reproductive) carrier screening, pharmacogenomic testing, testing for lactose intolerance, coeliac genotyping, and haemochromatosis screening for people at risk. We can also refer for BRCA testing.
What is reproductive carrier screening?
A test that checks whether you and your partner carry genetic conditions that could be passed to a child — usually done before or early in pregnancy.
What is pharmacogenomic testing?
Testing that looks at how your genes affect your response to certain medications, which can help guide prescribing.
Who should consider haemochromatosis screening?
People with a family history of haemochromatosis, or with iron studies suggesting iron overload.
Do I need genetic counselling?
For some tests, yes — your GP will advise and can refer you.
