The College aims to be a self-supporting organisation promoting the study of science and the practice of pathology to ensure that suf cient expert pathology services are available to sustain the practice of medicine and to promote health care in the Australasian region.
Performance Measurement
The College monitors membership and trainee numbers against workforce projections needed to support ongoing demand for pathology services. The College liaises with governments and seeks to implement appropriate strategies to ensure that the workforce of pathologists and scientists is suf cient to meet the projected demand for services. Informal benchmarking
of the subscriptions paid by members against subscriptions levied by other specialist medical colleges of a similar size is undertaken.This process has revealed that the College fees continue to be at the lower end of the spectrum.
