  • Provide a national network for the collaborative development of cancer genetics educational resources in Australia
  • Ensure a consistent approach to cancer genetics education is maintained across Australia, in line with National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines.
  •  Provide educational input to key cancer genetics committees and reports.
