Our statewide pricing ensures consistency and equity of access to Research Services across NSW.
As a public health organisation, we charge on a cost recovery basis.
Please note our prices have recently increased for the first time since 2022 and any quotes issued from 1 July 2025 will use new pricing.
Our pricing model provides indicative pricing for NSW Health Pathology services to non-NSW Health Pathology research. The pricing is broken down into:
- Non-commercial research – unavoidable cost recovery
- Commercial research – full cost recovery for all activity surrounding the service.
In cases where NSW Health Pathology is a collaborating partner, or NSW Health Pathology employees are involved as an investigator in a research project, NSW Health Pathology views this as a research collaboration, not services for research.
For research collaborations, a NSW Health Pathology investigator must be added to the research ethics application (through REGIS) listing the site as NSW Health Pathology. This will create a site-specific assessment form for NSW Health Pathology’s research governance office. For further information, visit our Research Governance page.
