We are guided by NSW Health’s CORE values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect, and Empowerment, which underpin the system and our statewide responsibilities.
Within NSW Health Pathology, these values are expressed through our RITES values, which describe how we operate day-to-day:

Respect
We treat our patients, partners, customers and each other with respect and dignity always. We embrace what makes us unique as individuals and communities.
Integrity
We are honest, reliable and accountable. We care about protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of all people who rely on and deliver our services.
Teamwork
We work together connecting our partners, customers and communities to meaningful answers regardless of who they are or where they live, at every stage of life.
Excellence
We are curious and passionate about making a difference through innovation and excellence. We push boundaries and go above and beyond to strive for the best, every time.
Safety
We deliver outstanding results in a physically, psychologically and culturally safe way. We go the extra mile to ensure our staff, patients, partners and communities feel supported when they interact with us.
