Dr Tiller’s Genomic Revolution | Canberra News

Jane Tiller’s decade-long crusade has delivered a landmark victory for Australian health: a new law banning life insurers from using genetic test results to deny or hike premiums—no matter if you’re healthy or not. Born from her love of legal thrillers, she pivoted from corporate law to public health genomics, battling powerful industry forces to protect people’s right to explore their genetic risks without fear. The win empowers young women and families to act early, with the AMA calling it transformative. But Dr. Tiller knows this is just the beginning—she’s now rallying for nationwide genomic screening, like Monash’s DNA Screen pilot that found 1 in 50 young people carry deadly risk variants. With funding still elusive but future support promised, she’s pushing to turn prevention into the cornerstone of modern healthcare.
