Established in 1998, Histopath is Sydney’s largest independent provider of Specialist Pathology services incorporating the highest standards and ethics in the context of a fully independent, accredited laboratory.  Histopath’s team of Pathologists, 500 staff and independent couriers, provide medical consultation to thousands of patients every year, on behalf of a large number of Specialist Doctors and GPs throughout the metropolitan area and the Central Coast. Histopath have also played a pivotal role in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, forging strong partnerships with government and biotech organisations to set the highest standard in PCR testing. 

Unlike most pathology laboratories, which provide predominantly automated testing of blood samples, or general pathology, Histopath differs by being a market leader in a specialised sub-branch of pathology. Histopath’s surgical pathology services involve the gross and microscopic examination of patient tissue specimens which are submitted by Surgeons and GPs. This allows for the definitive diagnosis or exclusion of diseases, such as cancer.

Tissue specimens are processed by scientists and then examined by specialist doctors. Examination of the tissue may involve evaluation of molecular properties by immunohistochemistry or other laboratory tests.

Being privately owned by doctors, there is a primary focus on patient care.  Pathology is a significant growth area in medicine and due to its ability to respond to the rapidly changing needs and complexity of the health care environment, Histopath continues to experience significant growth.
