Student Testing Program

Schools Testing Program

Since 1997 free testing days for Tay Sachs Disease have been offered to year 11 students at all Jewish day schools.

From 2008 we are offering free testing to year 11 students for Tay Sachs disease and for the other common genetic diseases that affect Ashkenazi Jewish people.

If you are in year 11 in Victoria and do not attend a Jewish day school and wish to have free testing please call (03) 9496 3027 to arrange to have this done.

Free testing to school students is possible thanks to the generosity of the Pratt Foundation.
