From today, reproductive carrier testing for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Cystic Fibrosis and Fragile X syndrome, which previously cost more than $385, will be covered by Medicare.
This has been a long time in the planning, and we are super excited that all Australians, not just to those that can afford the test, will now be able to make informed choices about their reproductive plans prior to deciding to start a family or in the early stages of pregnancy.
Join a powerful community of supporters who are helping tackle spinal muscular atrophy at its very core. Our community relies on us for support and best-practice resources to guide them in living well with SMA, as well as for resources to help raise disease awareness, educate others and advocate for people living with SMA in the wider Australian community.
