Additional Collection Instructions

In general an autopsy should be requested on every deceased patient, except Coroner's cases, since very frequently unsuspected findings will throw light on puzzling or obscure clinical observations. A high autopsy index is a yardstick of good quality medical care. Contact Anatomical Pathology mortuary on (03) 9496-5658 to discuss any potential autopsy and to speak with a Registrar or Pathologist. |
