Education of clinical biochemists within Australia occurs primarily after the individual has attained a primary degree (Science or Applied Science) and is employed within a clinical laboratory, public or private. In the case of medical graduates, professional education is conducted under the auspices of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australia and results in the successful candidate obtaining the status of Fellow of that professional body. While scientists have a number of means of obtaining postgraduate qualifications in clinical biochemistry it is the Membership and Fellowship examinations of the Australian Association of Clinical Biochemists (AACB) which have greatest recognition within the profession. The majority of the continuing education of, and training programmes for, clinical biochemists are undertaken by the AACB. Currently, there are no formal registration requirements for laboratory scientists within Australia.
在澳大利亚，临床生物化学家的培养主要是在个人获得本科学位（理学或应用科学）并受雇于公立或私立临床实验室之后进行。对于医学毕业生而言，专业教育在澳大利亚皇家病理学家学院的主持下开展，成功通过者将获得该专业机构的院士身份。虽然科学家有多种途径获得临床生物化学的研究生资格，但澳大利亚临床生物化学家协会（AACB）的会员资格和院士资格考试在该行业内认可度最高。临床生物化学家的继续教育和培训项目大多由AACB承担。目前，澳大利亚对实验室科学家没有正式的注册要求。
