2025, Tasmania Information & Support Day

Event description

Facilitated by our Programs Manager Robyn Smith, you’ll hear from 2 panels of experts who will provide evidence-based information relevant to the hereditary cancer community.

These days are intended to be a 'catch all' event where you can collect information about many aspects of hereditary cancer in one place.

If you or someone in your family carries a gene mutation such as BRCA, ATM, PALB2, CHEK2 or RAD51C, or if you have a strong family history of breast, ovarian, bowel or prostate cancer, this day is for you!
