Biobanks in Western Australia

WA biobanking forum

Why have a forum?

Biobanks could affect everyone's lives and we think that discussion is long overdue.

There are many issues that need to be talked about:

  • What research will biobanks be used for?
  • How will your privacy be protected?
  • How will biobanks be monitored?
  • What are the benefits and risks?
  • Who should decide what research the biobank is used for?
  • What should the community be consulted about?

We think these decisions should be made after consulting the public – your views are important!

How were the forums run?
