We’re Australia’s largest public pathology service. It means we’re not for profit – we’re for all of us. It’s more than just a job … we help keep people safe and healthy from before birth until death.
That’s why we’re the preferred provider and commissioner of pathology for the NSW Health system and trusted partner to the Justice system for our independent forensic and analytical services.
Careers with us can lead to new cancer treatments and shield us from future pandemics; help Police to solve crimes or find cause of death for the Coroner and bereaved families.

Our labs and collection centres are located across a state four times the size of the UK, offering more access to diverse roles, opportunities and world-class expertise.

We stay ahead of the curve to provide extraordinary public pathology and forensics services.
From whole genome sequencing to track pathogens to mitochondrial DNA testing to identity human remains when traditional DNA analysis isn’t possible – we’re not only doing it, but already looking ahead to what’s next.
