ABOUT US
The Royal College of Pathologists of Australia, established in March 1956, changed its name in 1980 to The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia.
A Regional Committee for New Zealand was added to the committee structure, which included regional committees for each of the Australian States. In 1996 the NZ Committee was reconstituted as a result of the amalgamation of the functions of the New Zealand Society of Pathologists (NZSP) and the RCPA.
A combined committee, the New Zealand Committee of Pathologists, now looks to the professional interests of NZ Pathologists, whether or not they are College Fellows.
