Company history

Here in NSW & ACT, Laverty Pathology and its predecessor practices can trace their foundation back to 1928, with the establishment of Dr Eva Shipton’s medical laboratory in Macquarie Street in Sydney.

Dr Shipton was one of Australia’s first female specialist pathologists, and was appointed a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1974 for services to medicine.

Her practice grew steadily through the addition of a number of well-known pathology practices, including the practices of Doctors Maynard, Orban, Lindsell, Hale, Cottom, Woods, Moses and Patwardhan. In 2008, SDS merged with Symbion Laverty Pathology to become one of Australia’s largest pathology practices, and is today known as “Laverty Pathology”.
