Yes. our pathology services will perform all testing regardless of what pathology company your request is from. If your health care provider has asked that a particular pathologist conduct the tests, then we will forward your collection to the requested pathologist.
The only requirement is to present a request form with an Australian Provider Number of the referrer. Typically, overseas health care practitioners do not have those.
Appointments are not required for standard tests.
Some speciality tests do require an appointment and are only performed at select collection centres. To find a collection centre which performs these tests, please use the collection centre search and choose the test you require from the “Any Test” drop down menu.
Please contact the collection centre prior to attending to book an appointment time.
Make sure you drink plenty of water prior to your pathology testing – unless your GP has given you a reason not to. This will make it easier for our team member to conduct your blood test.
For children it may help to bring something such as a special toy or book to distract them while the collection occurs.
Further test specific pre-test collection information is provided in our Preparing for your test section.
Our pathology services will bulk bill all pathology tests covered under the Medicare Benefits Schedule, however, there a number of occasions where a payment will be required at the time of collection or post-testing.
