Thank you to every genetic counsellor and HGSA member who came to support the day. What a great turn out!

Honoured to have been given the opportunity to speak at Parliament House about the importance of Genetic Counselling @GCAustralasia @HGSAAustralasia What a fabulous event, and the real credit should be give to our patient speakers.

Proud to be speaking at Parliament House today about the importance of genetic counselling #ANZgeneticcounsellors #IAmAGeneticCounselor

Today, Genetic Counsellors, politicians and patient advocates from around the country gathered at Parliament House in Canberra to recognise and champion the important work we do for patients and families impacted by genetic conditions.

@shelietweets Congratulations Michelle!

Thanks for the likes, folks! 🥰 And I'm happy to share that this was a tasty representation of the most appropriate base pair for GCAD: guanine and cytosine 😁

My favourite event of #GCawarenessDay So many creative entries!

OMG so many fabulous entries @GCAustralasia for the #GCAD2023bakeoff !! 🧬😍 I don’t know how the GCAD working group is going to choose a winner…

This is spot on. One of my constant frustrations….

@HelenMountain3 @GCAustralasia Excellent work Helen!

@Ashley__Crook Thanks Ashley! Could you let us know who baked each entry? That way we can judge them individually, since we only have two prizes

@shelietweets @GCAustralasia Amazing first entry Michelle!

Genetic Counsellor awareness day is off to an early start due to staff availability today. I made a thing out of cake pops - can you tell me what it is? #GCAD2023BakeOff @GCAustralasia

@elizakcourtney 👏👏 Love a genetics trivia question.

Last night at pub trivia, the first question of second round was ‘what does DNA stand for?’ and I said my job here is done 🤣🤣🤣 #GeneChat

The role of a genetic counsellor has expanded in the last few years from predominantly working in a clinical care setting, to research, education, academia, policy, industry and pathology. We celebrate the diverse areas genetic counsellors work across #GCAD2023
