At Healius, we’re united by a shared purpose: making a difference to the future of Australia’s health. Now is an exciting time to join us as we transform into a stronger, more agile organisation, with a focus on excellent customer and patient experiences, smarter ways of working and being a great place for our people 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

Healius is one of Australia’s leading healthcare companies, committed to supporting quality, affordable and accessible healthcare for all Australians. 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.

About The Role

As a Pathology Collector Reliever, you will collect blood and non-blood samples while delivering a positive, professional and caring experience to every patient. You will work across multiple collection centres and hospitals within a specific area, stepping into shifts to support both planned and unplanned absences.

Key responsibilities:

• Collect blood and other samples with care and precision
• Provide a welcoming, calm and professional experience for patients
• Prepare and package specimens for transport in line with procedures
• Maintain accurate records and follow required processes
• Adapt quickly to different collection sites, teams and workflows to support smooth day-to-day operations

About You

We are ideally seeking an experienced Pathology Collector with a Certificate III in Pathology Collection. However, we also welcome applications from candidates with a healthcare background (e.g. aged care, disability support or nursing) who are looking to transition into pathology.

You will be confident stepping into new teams and environments, with the ability to quickly adapt to different processes and ways of working. You will bring a flexible and proactive approach, maintaining a reliable and professional standard across multiple locations.

• Ability to work flexibly across multiple locations with a high level of adaptability
• Strong time management skills and the ability to manage changing priorities
• Resilience and consistency in delivering a high standard of work across varied environments
• Sound judgement, with the ability to take initiative and adapt in different settings
