Established in 1938, IMVS Pathology is a wholly South Australian medically-led network of pathology laboratories, providing the people of metropolitan and rural South Australia with comprehensive quality pathology and integrated clinical services. IMVS Pathology has over 60 patient collection centres and numerous laboratories conveniently located throughout South Australia.
As a not-for-profit organisation, IMVS Pathology bulk-bills patients for all Commonwealth Medical Benefit Schedule (CMBS) pathology tests. In a recent article by Choice magazine, it was recognised as the only consistently 'no gap, bulk billing' pathology provider in South Australia.
Profits generated from pathology are used to support rural communities, medical training and medical research. IMVS Pathology has over 250 elite medical researchers studying diseases and disorders ranging from blood, breast and colon cancer, bone fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, hepatitis, infectious diseases and genetic disorders.

“The well-educated young woman of 1950 will blend art and sciences in a way we do not dream of; the science will steady the art and the art will give charm to the science. This young woman will marry—yes, indeed, but she will take her pick of men, who will by that time have begun to realize what sort of men it behooves them to be.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
