Wonderful evening at the Research Australia Health & Medical Research Awards, where I was honoured to receive the Advocacy Award.

I highlighted the Gov's recent announcement by about the genetic discrimination ban, & that we still need legislation drafted and introduced to achieve this outcome! 🧬💜
