Information, support and connection.

For more than three decades, Genetic Alliance Australia has stood alongside people and families affected by rare, genetic and undiagnosed conditions.

We help people find information, support and connection, and create opportunities for communities to share knowledge, collaborate and advocate for change.

We are especially committed to people whose conditions are so rare that no dedicated support group exists.
