Australian Genomics
Links organisations to integrate genomic medicine into Australian healthcare
Now concluded, Australian Genomics linked organisations to integrate genomic medicine into Australian healthcare
From 2015 to 2025, Australian Genomics worked to equitably and appropriately apply genomics in healthcare through bringing together national and international partners. Projects included setting national standards for genomic data management, integrating genomics in clinical treatment and diagnosis, training the health workforce, empowering Indigenous genomic priorities, and distilling research outcomes to form Australian policy and practice.
Funding for Australian Genomics was provided by the Australian Government.

Australian Genomics Data Management Systems
Now concluded, Australian Genomics had tools to support storage, access, and sharing of its genomic datasets for secondary research use. They included a web-based platform for dynamic consent and data sharing preferences (CTRL), a cloud-based Genomic Data Repository (GDR) that ingested, stored, and provided access to data, and a data release coordinator system (Elsa) to streamline data sharing.
