About 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, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. The RCPA is also responsible for the promotion of the science and practice of pathology.

Our AGM season continues! We held our NSW State AGM last week, with a state report from our NSW State Councillor A/Prof Kenneth Lee. We also had forensic pathologists Dr Lorraine Du Toit-Prinsloo and Dr Isabel Brouwer join us as guest speakers, who discussed the process of Disaster Victim Identification. Our State AGMs are a great opportunity for local members to connect with each other and meet the members of the Board. Vice President A/Prof Daniel Owens had a special reunion with his former supervisor and teacher, Gillian Rozenberg, a founding Fellow of the RCPA Faculty of Science who continues to lead workshops.
