What Is Genetic Counselling?
Genetic counselling is a consultation service that helps people understand inherited health risks, interpret genetic test results, and decide whether genetic testing is appropriate for them or their family. It is delivered by counsellors certified through the Human Genetics Society of Australasia (HGSA, 2025) and covers hereditary cancer, cardiac conditions, prenatal findings, and diagnosed genetic disorders. Genetic counsellors do not prescribe treatment; they explain risk and coordinate referral pathways.
For families in Tasmania, an in-home or outreach consultation removes some of the practical strain around what is often an emotional conversation. Genetic results affect more than one person, so sessions frequently involve partners, parents or adult children, and being at home makes it easier for the whole family to take part and to talk through what a result means for relatives who share the same genes.
Who It Is For and How It Is Funded
Genetic counselling suits people with a family history of hereditary cancer or heart conditions, an unexplained genetic diagnosis, or a prenatal screening result requiring interpretation. Sessions in private practice are not Medicare-rebatable (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Public hospital clinical genetics services are free with a GP or specialist referral but carry long waitlists. It is not a standard NDIS-funded support, though disability-specific supports flowing from a confirmed genetic diagnosis, such as therapy or capacity building, may be funded separately.
Finding a Genetic Counsellor in Tasmania
Genetic counsellors are a small profession, so availability in Tasmania is often driven by whether a counsellor offers outreach or telehealth rather than by clinic location. When you enquire, it helps to say upfront which area the concern sits in, such as hereditary cancer, cardiac risk or a prenatal finding, because counsellors often work within particular specialties. Ask whether a GP or specialist referral is needed first, since some testing pathways and public clinics require one before a session can go ahead.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo lists 28,038 providers across 4,782 suburbs, including HGSA-certified genetic counsellors who offer outreach and in-home consultations. For related allied health and therapy supports, see Carevo’s allied health disciplines guide.
