Requirements for Medical Testing for Human Genetic Variation (Fourth Edition, 2025)
The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, in consultation with the National Pathology Accreditation Advisory Council (NPAAC), advises of an amendment to the language in S1.01 of the Requirements for Medical Testing for Human Genetic Variation.
Fourth edition includes amendments made to S1.01 regarding referring practitioners to now include nurses and midwives, in response to new and specific MBS item numbers for a single genomic test (Non-invasive prenatal testing of blood from an RhD negative pregnant patient) and updates to the formatting and template to align with the incoming National Pathology Standard.
The amendment is in force from 23 March 2026.
