Prior to this role, he worked for the Victorian Clinical Genetics Services (VCGS) as a genetic counsellor for 15 years and played an integral role in the establishment of new clinical genetics services, including throughout rural Victoria. He worked in London at the Heart Hospital managing the translation of individual genetic research findings into clinical care. After returning to Australia, his clinical work focused on inherited cardiac disease, where he was involved in establishing new cardiac genetics clinics at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Monash Medical Centre and The Alfred, together with colleagues at each of these sites. He also contributed to the establishment of a new next-generation sequencing test for genes associated with inherited heart conditions offered by the VCGS and completed a Masters thesis on the impact of genetic testing for these conditions.
