For more than 11 years, Jimish has been a valued member of NSW Health Pathology, working as a Hospital Scientist and 2IC at Moruya Hospital. As part of a multidisciplinary laboratory team, Moruya Pathology delivers on‑site services across specimen collection, biochemistry, haematology, transfusion and microbiology, supporting clinicians and patients across the region.

“As a hos­pi­tal sci­en­tist, I have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to main­tain and upgrade my skills across mul­ti­ple dis­ci­plines,” he explains. “As 2IC, I’m also able to sup­port man­age­r­i­al tasks and con­tin­ue devel­op­ing my lead­er­ship skills.”

What dri­ves him most is the con­nec­tion between his dai­ly work and patient out­comes. “A healthy soci­ety is a hap­py soci­ety, and NSW Health Pathol­o­gy plays a vital role in achiev­ing that. Each day, I know I am con­tribut­ing to a big­ger vision.”

The con­cept of care is cen­tral to his approach. “Care is about being there for some­one when they real­ly need you – even when they don’t expect it. When I do my work with the utmost pre­ci­sion and get results where they need to be on time, I know it’s not just a job. It has a mean­ing­ful impact on the community.”

Team­work is also a stand­out part of the role. “In my day‑to‑day work, I inter­act with patients, clin­i­cians, col­leagues, tech­ni­cians, couri­ers and sup­pli­ers. Every­one plays a part in pro­tect­ing patients and communities.”

A proud advo­cate for team­work, he says sim­ply: “Work­ing togeth­er makes even the most com­plex tasks achiev­able – and that’s some­thing I’m very proud to be part of.”

Out­side of work, week­ends are all about fam­i­ly, faith and bal­ance – start­ing with morn­ing tea and wor­ship, fol­lowed by fam­i­ly meals, time at the gym or walk­ing along the beau­ti­ful South Coast’s beach­es, and stay­ing con­nect­ed with fam­i­ly and friends overseas.

Jimish’s sto­ry shines a light on the crit­i­cal role pathol­o­gy pro­fes­sion­als play in care deliv­ery across NSW.
