About the role
As a Technical Officer (TGO1 / TGO2), you'll be part of a welcoming, collaborative laboratory team that plays a vital role in supporting patient care across South Australia. Each day offers variety, purpose and hands‐on work, as you apply your technical skills, practical knowledge and attention to detail to pathology testing and laboratory activities. Working independently or alongside experienced colleagues, you'll help deliver accurate, timely results while continuing to build your capability through shared learning and on‐the‐job experience within SA Pathology.
At the TGO2 level, this role provides the opportunity to step into greater responsibility, applying technical judgement, contributing to service improvements and leading minor technical projects. You'll work closely with scientific, medical and operational teams, as well as external partners, to solve problems, clarify testing requirements and keep laboratory services running smoothly. If you enjoy teamwork, take pride in quality outcomes and want a role where your work genuinely matters, this is an opportunity to grow, connect and make a meaningful difference every day.
About you
You're a motivated and reliable Technical Officer who enjoys working in a laboratory environment and takes pride in producing high‐quality, accurate work. Roles are available at TGO1 and TGO2 level, with appointment made based on your qualifications, experience and demonstrated capability.

* Laboratory experience suited to your level, with sound knowledge of laboratory principles, quality systems and Work Health and Safety practices
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a positive, customer‐focused approach to teamwork and service delivery
