Established in 1998 by Dr Chris Douglas, Histopath Diagnostic Specialists is the only large pathology practice in Australia which is still entirely owned by specialist doctors.
‍
For over 20 years, the practice has been a leader in cancer diagnosis, virology and parasitology. The practice is highly specialised and our doctors work closely with other doctors, surgeons, hospitals and government agencies to provide best practice outcomes for patients.

Our primary aim is to provide state of the art, timely, accurate, affordable and ethical services. During the Covid-19 pandemic, our practice has invested in the latest technology and built an information system, enabling our virology unit to achieve turnaround times for Covid-19 PCR tests which are world leading. Since the pandemic began, we have tested over 4 million people for Covid-19.

Through close partnerships with major technology companies and Government, Histopath Diagnostic Specialists has provided world leading solutions for rapid PCR testing of patients for Covid-19, establishing the first rapid PCR testing clinics in Australia, providing results to thousands of patients within 30minutes.

We have applied the same technology in the transport industry to assist the freight workers.

Diagnostic Medicine or Pathology, is one of the most exciting fields of medical practice. Histopath Diagnostic Specialists is embracing advances in molecular biology, genomics, virology and artificial intelligence that will revolutionise how we diagnose and treat diseases.
