Genomic science has the potential to rapidly advance understanding of human biology in the medical context and the subsequent provision of tailored healthcare. Implementing such a disruptive and transformative technology into an existing and stretched health system will require a whole of system approach and a keen understanding of the limitations to be navigated in broadening the system to include genomic healthcare. This paper reports on the barriers to implementation faced by clinical demonstration projects in integrating into the existing infrastructure in Queensland.
