Regional Laboratories

Regional Commitment

QML Pathology has 18 strategically located laboratories stretching from Cairns to Ballina. Complimenting these laboratories are over 145 regional collection centres linked via our expansive courier network, making QML Pathology one of the most comprehensive providers in the local industry.

Our regional operations contain all the service delivery options available in metropolitan areas with liaison, collection and courier services connected to each region. Most importantly geographic location in no way compromises our commitment to the delivery of a quality product, with our laboratories supervised by experienced Pathologists and scientific staff who have the ability to provide accurate and efficient results. Where a test grouping is not able to be performed on-site at our regional laboratories, the specimen is referred to another laboratory in our network for analysis.
