Pathology & Red Cross Blood Service

Pathology Workers 

A warm welcome to all the Victorian Pathology workers from the Health Workers Union Team, headed by our Secretary, Diana Asmar (who is a Phlebotomist and has an extensive work history in this area). 

The Health Workers Union has been working very hard to make sure that the workers within the pathology sector are paid decent wages and have reasonable working conditions. Unfortunately, some providers have let wages and conditions slip well below industry standards.

We will continue to fight for you to be able to access the pay and conditions you deserve – like access to training, uninterrupted lunch breaks, paid for overtime worked and to improve the culture at your workplace, amongst other things.

We can only achieve these outcomes and benefits if we unite and make our voices heard at work. History has taught us that workers have more power when they stick together.
