Comprehensive On-Site Diagnostic Testing
Our on-site pathology service supports every stage of your healthcare, from routine health checks to ongoing monitoring and diagnosis. Whether your GP has requested blood tests, you're managing a chronic condition, preparing for surgery, monitoring medication, or requiring pregnancy, sexual health, or follow-up testing, our convenient pathology service provides fast, accurate testing to help guide your care and treatment.
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.
