Business / Provider Profile
On 10 April 1956, the College of Pathologists of Australia was incorporated under the Companies Act of 1936. In 1970 Royal Assent was given to allow the inclusion of "Royal" in the title, making it the Royal College of Pathologists of Australia. In January 1980 the College became the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia in recognition of the increasing number of Fellows in New Zealand. Since then the title also reflects the other regional areas represented, namely Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. In 2006 the Jubilee year of the College was celebrated and 2016 marked the 60th anniversary of the College.
Two history books have been written since the inception of the College. "The Nature of Things" covers the first 25 years and "Pathology, Professional Practice and Politics" covers the next 25 years. To mark the 60th anniversary in 2016 an exhibition titled “60 Years Young” was staged during Pathology Update 2016 which included memorabilia on display and an interactive history presentation on screens. The interactive presentation has been customised for viewing on this website and is ‘live’ in the sense that it can be updated and amended at any time.

Why us
The RCPA is the leading organisation representing Pathologists and Senior Scientists in Australasia. Its mission is to train and support pathologists and to improve the use of pathology testing to achieve better healthcare. For those who are not already familiar with this area of medicine, pathology is about the study of the causes of disease and pathologists are the specialist medical doctors involved in the diagnosis and monitoring almost of all acute and chronic illnesses.
As a way of background, the College was first established in 1956 and has been responsible for the training and professional development of Pathologists since that time and more recently Senior Scientists. College members come from across Australasia including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. The RCPA is also responsible for the promotion of the science and practice of pathology.
The RCPA offices are located in the heritage listed, Durham Hall in Surry Hills, Sydney. It is a not-for-profit organisation which is governed by its Board of Directors. The College’s current President is A/Prof Trishe Leong, CEO is Dr David Andrews and DCEO is Dr Natalie Klees. The College management team consists of some 40 staff members who administer all aspects of the running of the College.
The various areas of this site cover: the College structure and its committees; training requirements for a career in pathology and the various disciplines of pathology on offer; and College publications and pathology in the news. It also provides information about continuing education, major events, College policies, documents and publications.
