Hobart Pathology is a well-established pathology laboratory. We started providing pathology services in Southern Tasmania approximately fifty years ago. Today we operate from “state of the art” premises strategically located in the centre of Hobart with regional centres such as New Norfolk providing various services. Our equipment, protocols and systems are all endorsed by NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) at their highest level of accreditation.

We employ approximately 200 people at the Hobart laboratory. We are all committed to a service ethic whereby we:
