Genetics counselling is a field that’s been around for a while, but is now expanding with a new Masters of Genetic Counselling at UTS. Genetic counselling can potentially help predict the future of your health or even address it in the present.

The Daily’s Sam Baran was joined by Associate Prof Alison McEwen, the Head of Discipline in Genetic Counselling, and Dr Chris Jacobs, Senior Lecturer,  from the Graduate School of Health at the University of Technology. They explained what genetic counselling is and why it’s valuable.

You can learn more about genetics counselling at the Genetic Counselling,  Human genetics society of Australasia or at the NSW health centre for genetic education.
