DIRECTORY OF GENETIC CONDITIONS
The purpose of these directories is to provide genetic and rare disease support information to individuals , families, health professionals and Genetic and Rare Disease support groups. The directories may assist with referral for individuals and families with either a known or newly diagnosed genetic or rare condition or predisposition to these genetic conditions.
Community services can be very useful when either managing your own condition or when you are caring for a family member or a friend. In Victoria we have many great support services however it sometimes can be challenging to find the Community services that you need.
