Why You Will Be Excited About This Role
At Western Diagnostic Pathology (a part of Healius), we all have one thing in common: we are passionate about making a difference to the health of Australians.
As a Pathology Collector, you will be the friendly face behind the first hello, the warm welcome that will create a lasting impression, and the caring assurance to let our customers know that they are in good hands.
You will be able to provide quality patient care with the support and resources provided, whilst also building strong connections and being integral to the local communities you work in.

You will be recognised for your contribution and impact with our Reward & Recognition program. Milestones are celebrated; many of our collectors have worked with us for 5, 10, and even 20 years.
Looking to grow your career? We have clear progression paths that include advancement to business managerial roles, ongoing education and support to attain this, as well as full‐time and part‐time roles available if that is what you are looking for down the line.
