What Is a Private Blood Test?
A private blood test allows you to order pathology testing yourself, without needing a GP consultation or referral. The process is simple, fast and confidential.
In Australia, private pathology providers like MediTests let you order online, choose the biomarkers you want checked, and walk in to any of 3,300+ accredited collection centres. This is known as self-request pathology, and it is fully legal when paid privately.
You stay in control of what you test, when you test and what you do with your results.

What Our Customers Say
Booked the appointment in the morning and had results back the same afternoon. Wasn't expecting that level of professionalism. Highly recommend for anyone needing bloodwork.
Always thought you needed a GP appointment to get a blood test. So easy to do and got results the same day. Fantastic.
Was finding it slow getting results from my GP. Tried MediTests, walked in during the afternoon and had results first thing the next morning. Easy service, more than five stars.
Had been putting off a blood test for months because of the hassle of booking a GP. Jumped online, ordered the Ultimate Health Check, walked in and had results within a day.
The Same Labs Your GP Uses
Every MediTests sample is processed by NATA-accredited Australian pathology laboratories that comply with ISO 15189 standards. The exact same standard applied to every blood test in the public system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really order a blood test without seeing a GP?
Yes. In Australia, self-request pathology is fully legal when paid privately. MediTests is a registered self-request pathology service partnered with NATA-accredited labs, so you can order any panel directly without a referral.
How fast are the results?
Most results are delivered to your email within 24 to 48 hours of your sample being processed. Some specialised markers may take slightly longer, but the majority of panels are very fast.
Are private blood tests as accurate as GP tests?
Yes. MediTests partners with NATA-accredited Australian pathology laboratories that provide clinical-grade results identical to what you would receive through a GP. The labs follow ISO 15189 standards, the same as the public system.
Where can I get my blood drawn?
Walk into any of our 3,300+ accredited collection centres across Australia. Bring the referral PDF we email you after purchase, plus a valid photo ID. No appointment needed.
Can I claim it on Medicare or private health?
No. Because MediTests is a private self-request service, the cost is not covered by Medicare or private health insurance. You pay one upfront price with no hidden fees.
Will my results show up on My Health Record?
No. Private blood tests through MediTests are not Medicare-linked, so they do not automatically appear on My Health Record. Your results stay private and are yours to share if you choose.
What if my results show something concerning?
Our APHRA-registered doctors review every result. If anything unusual shows up, the team may contact you with guidance, and we will recommend following up with your GP for any clinical interpretation or treatment.
