At Australian Clinical Labs, we are experts in antenatal testing. Our range of pathology services in this field was highlighted at the Healthed Women’s and Children’s Health Update in Perth, which saw over 900 attendees. Medical professionals wanted to learn more about our Genetic Carrier Screening (a Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Fragile X Syndrome screening test) and Harmony® (NIPT/non-invasive prenatal testing). Our WA team had some good discussions with delegates about our Comprehensive Carrier Screening, which tests for 100+ inherited conditions and up to 460 genes. We also had interest in our women’s health tests, particularly iron studies and female reproductive hormones and fertility testing relating to ovulation.

On the last day of #HIC2025, Amanda Cattermole PSM, CEO of the Australian Digital Health Agency, delivered a compelling update on the national digital health strategy and the progress being made across key pillars of transformation. The results are already visible: -Pathology uploads to My Health Record ↑ 75% -Diagnostic imaging uploads ↑ 130% -Clinician views ↑ 300% -Consumer engagement ↑ 140% Amanda reminded us that this transformation is not just about systems—it’s about people. From chronic disease management to aged care transitions, the goal is seamless, secure, and proactive care that empowers both clinicians and consumers. And it doesn’t stop here. With AI, genomics, and real-time analytics on the horizon, Australia is laying the groundwork for a learning health system, one that continuously adapts, improves, and puts Australians at the centre. #HIC2025 #DigitalHealth #Interoperability #MyHealthRecord #HealthConnectAustralia #HealthInnovation #AIinHealthcare #ConnectedCare #HealthPolicy #AustraliaHealth #AIDH
