Forensic Pathology

Forensic Pathology is a highly specialised area of medicine and at NSW Health Pathology's Forensic Medicine service our pathologists place the highest priority on supporting both a bereaved family’s need for answers as well as the Coroner’s role in delivering justice and improving the health and safety of communities across NSW.
