The National Health Genomics Policy Framework is a blueprint to embed genomics in the Australian health system.
The purpose of the framework is to:
- establish a high-level policy document to guide government activity across public genomics policy
- help mainstream genomic services to deliver better health outcomes
- raise ethical, legal and social issues to do with genomics
- ensure policy-makers consider ethical, legal and social issues when developing or implementing public policy and research
- provide national leadership for embedding genomics in the Australian health system.
The framework outlines 5 strategic priorities and identifies priority action areas for each.
