What the service does

Inherited Cancers Australia supports people and families at risk of inherited cancer. It offers information to help people understand and manage cancer risk. Support is available from a peer mentor with lived experience, or from a genetic counsellor. A genetic counsellor can explain family cancer risk, talk through genetic test options, help people understand results, and guide next steps to reduce risk. The website includes a tool to collect family health history and prepare for a GP visit. This service is available across Australia
