The pathology collection service located at the Associate Medical Practice in Frome
Street Moree has reopened under the operation of NSW Health Pathology (NSWHP).

The collection service reopened yesterday and will be open Monday to
Friday 8am to 4pm. The service accepts all pathology referrals and bulk bill all tests covered by Medicare.

“We apologise for the delay in notifying the community regarding this change,” lab manager Nigelene said.

In September 2024, pathology testing and collection services in Moree were transferred
from St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney Limited (SydPath) to NSWHP. At the time, pathology
collections were temporarily relocated from the Frome Street medical centre to Moree
Hospital to allow for the service transition.

Now the Frome Street pathology collection service has reopened, the Moree Hospital
outpatient collection will be temporarily closed while further recruitment takes place for more skilled staff, allowing increased and expanded pathology services in Moree.

Outpatient collections at Moree Hospital will reopen in the coming months. NSWHP
continues to provide inpatient collections at the hospital.

Pathology is one of the services that will also get new and improved facilities as part of the redevelopment of Moree Hospital, with building expected to begin this year.
