Cancer risk assessment, genetic testing and advice for patients with a personal or family history of cancer.
At Icon, we are committed to delivering exceptional cancer care for our local community. We believe genetic counselling services are an integral part of supporting cancer patients and their families.
Icon Hobart is proud to offer a dedicated private genetic counselling service enhancing the comprehensive cancer care support for patients.
Icon Hobart’s genetic counselling service provides cancer risk assessment, genetic testing and advice.
We are able to receive referrals for patients with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, bowel, or endometrial cancers.
Our genetic counsellor offers consultation appointments on-site at Icon Hobart and is also able to provide telehealth appointments.
Julia Mansour is a registered and certified clinical genetic counsellor with experience providing genetic counselling for reproductive planning, adult onset conditions, cardiac genetics and cancer genetics.
Julia is happy to receive referrals or enquiries from people with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, bowel or endometrial (uterine) cancer. She is also happy to assess whether she can support people with other types of cancer if there is a strong family history.
Julia is passionate about helping people understand more about their family health history and the implications for their personal health. Julia will listen and help you access the information you need to clarify your health risks and take proactive steps to manage these risks.
We encourage you to contact our genetic counsellor to discuss your eligibility for this service.
To enquire about Icon’s genetic counselling service, please email our genetic counsellor on genetics.hobart@icon.team. A doctor’s referral is not required to access genetic counselling services and referrals can be made by patients, carers or healthcare professionals.
An appointment will be made where appropriate and our team will contact you and you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire about your family history of cancer.
