Having on-site pathology makes a genuine difference to patient experience and care quality. Blood tests can be collected immediately after your GP consultation — results are returned typically within 24–48 hours and reviewed by your GP. Most routine pathology is covered by Medicare with no out-of-pocket cost. Our QML collection centre is staffed by experienced collectors and handles the full range of tests from routine screening through to complex hormone panels, antenatal bloods, STI screening, and medication monitoring. Results are reviewed by your GP and you are contacted if any action is needed.
