Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science

SA Pathology (formally Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science) is an organisation providing diagnostic and clinical pathology services throughout South Australia.

SA Pathology has over 60 patient collection centres and numerous laboratories located throughout South Australia.

As a not-for-profit organisation, SA Pathology bulk-bills patients for all Commonwealth Medical Benefit Schedule (CMBS) pathology tests. In a recent article by Choice magazine, it was recognised as the only consistently 'no gap, bulk billing' pathology provider in South Australia.

Profits generated from pathology are used to support rural communities, medical training and medical research. SA Pathology has over 250 elite medical researchers studying diseases and disorders ranging from blood, breast and colon cancer, bone fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, hepatitis, infectious diseases and genetic disorders.

SA Pathology has a rich history of diagnostic pathology and research over 75 years. Established as the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science (IMVS) in the late 1930s, it was an era which saw political and community leaders introduce significant reform, with a focus on improving public health.

Situated near the Royal Adelaide Hospital, South Australia's principal teaching hospital, the Institute began as an offshoot of the hospital laboratories. RAH Superintendent and Dean of Medicine Sir Trent Champion de Crespigny created an organisation combining laboratory services with pathology training and medical research.
