There's never been a more exciting time to join us as we transform into a stronger, more agile organisation with a focus on innovative ways of working, excellent customer and patient experiences and being a great place to work.

This role is suited to people who enjoy helping others and want to do meaningful work. Pathology Collectors play a vital role in their community and are often the first person a patient meets on their healthcare journey, helping them feel comfortable, supported and confident they’re in good hands.

You’ll be part of a team that takes pride in delivering high-quality care and creating positive patient experiences every day. With supportive leaders, a strong team culture and a focus on recognising the moments that matter, you’ll have the support you need to grow and make a meaningful impact.

About Us

Through our network of state-based and specialty brands, we provide high-quality diagnostic services that support clinicians to make informed decisions and improve patient outcomes.

With more than 80 medical laboratories and approximately 2,000 patient collection centres nationwide, we process approximately one in four Medicare-funded pathology tests each year, supporting services that extend from some of Australia’s largest and most complex private and public hospitals to regional areas and remote Indigenous communities.
