Pathways to Working With Us

Pathways to Working With Us

PathWest is dedicated to ensuring the highest level of skills, experience, knowledge and competence in our future workforce. We have a range of quality cadetships, programs and scholarships available.
Pathology Registrar Training

PathWest is committed to investing in the clinical leaders of tomorrow through the annual intake of registrars, who have chosen a career path as specialist pathologists.

Consultants in Anatomical Pathology, Biochemistry, Diagnostic Genomics, Forensic Pathology, Haematology, Immunology and Microbiology take on a supervisory role, providing apprenticeship style training, to ensure registrars are trained to the highest level in their chosen discipline. This advanced pathology training leads to certification as a qualified pathologist and Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA).

Professional Placements

PathWest continues to support Curtin University’s Laboratory Medicine program, through its provision of professional placements. This course is accredited by the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS) in WA. 

PathWest is committed to supporting AIMS-accredited university programs where resources allow. By promoting a competitive environment, a highly skilled pool of graduates will be available for future employment opportunities. The organisation benefits by increasing its exposure to potential employees and by establishing professional relationships with the institutions who educate its future workforce.

Certificate III in Pathology Collection
PathWest has been delivering phlebotomy training to the general public for more than 20 years. We deliver an accredited program through an affiliation with North Metropolitan Health Service’s (NMHS) Registered Training Organisation. The accredited program was introduced in May 2014 and has since produced 162 graduates with a Certificate III qualification. Learn more about enrolling in a Certificate III in Pathology collection.
Aboriginal Scholarships

PathWest is dedicated to increasing Aboriginal employment within its workforce, particularly in frontline services. In March 2016, PathWest introduced an Aboriginal scholarship program with four scholarships offered each year, allowing successful applicants to complete the six week Certificate III in Pathology Collection course.

All course fees and other associated costs including workbooks, textbooks and vaccinations are included.

Work With Us - Aboriginal Cadetship

PathWest participates in the WA Health Aboriginal Cadetship Program, offering placements to Aboriginal students who are enrolled in full-time university across various areas of study. The program aims to provide Aboriginal students with 11 months' paid work experience and further employment opportunities.
