Connecting you with us
Reproductive health
We want to partner with you when you are doing it tough in your reproductive years and need some guidance, to take back control and explore what testing might be available. We are also happy to work with you when there is an unusual finding during a pregnancy.
Preconception health
It begins with an idea. An idea that you want a baby. Planning a pregnancy is the perfect time to see us so you will have the best chance of starting your journey on the right foot. This is where reproductive genetic carrier screening is most useful.
A genetic service just for you

Paediatric health
This is where our passion lies. We want to help you out of the public health queue and into our service; quickly, easily, efficiently. Early diagnosis, treatment and conversations lead to better health outcomes.
Adolescent health
A period of growth and change; it’s important and impactful. Perhaps a diagnosis has been missed or dismissed and it needs revisiting to ensure a complete management plan is in place.
Genetic health
The family reunion has revealed some genetic information that is confusing and and maybe a little confronting. From an inherited condition to being in a first cousin relationship - you need to talk to us and work through what this actually means for you,
Adult health
Ageing presents its own genetic challenges, and you need to know what’s ahead so you can be supported in your golden years of life. It’s also a chance for family health information to be passed down to the next generation.
