Established by the Australian Government in 2025, Genomics Australia provides leadership, coordination and expertise to accelerate the integration of genomics into the Australian health system.

Genomics is more than the study of genes and DNA. It is a tool that helps us understand how health, environment and genetic inheritance are linked. Genomics is also used outside medicine, for example in genealogy, forensics and understanding human history.

Genomic information is powerful but also highly personal, so protecting it is essential. Strong security, clear rules and respect for cultural rights ensure this data is used responsibly and fairly.
