Diagnostic services play a vital role in medicine, in diagnosis, treatment and research.
Diagnostic services are highly specialised. Specialties include anatomical pathology (surgical pathology, cytopathology, histopathology and molecular pathology); microbiology (bacteriology, serology, bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology and mycology), toxicology, biochemistry, haematology, immunohematology, immunology, forensic pathology, nuclear medicine/clinical imaging services, radiology and genetic pathology.
The National Pathology Accreditation Advisory Council (NPAAC) is responsible for the development and maintenance of standards for Australian pathology services. The National Authority of Testing Associations (NATA) is Australia's Government-endorsed provider of accreditation.
Medical imaging services are regulated through various state and territory radiation safety laws. In order to claim Medicare benefits, medical imaging services are required to be accredited by Quality in Practice Pty Ltd (QIP) - appointed by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing .
