Private Blood Tests in Australia: Everything You Need to Know

1. Introduction – The New Way to Get a Blood Test

Most Australians think a blood test means booking a GP appointment, explaining why they want it, and waiting for a referral.

With MediTest, that changes.

We give you direct access to over 100+ clinical-grade blood tests no GP referral, no Medicare restrictions, no hoops to jump through.

2. Why Private Blood Testing Exists

Traditionally, Medicare covers blood tests only if you meet strict clinical criteria. Even if you’re happy to pay out of pocket, you may still be told, “You don’t meet the eligibility.”
Private blood testing exists to give people control  whether you’re:

• Checking hormones or fertility

• Investigating fatigue or low energy

• Tracking nutrition, recovery, or performance

• Wanting peace of mind about your health markers

1. Choose your test – Select from 100+ panels or build your own.

2. Instant referral – Your pathology referral is emailed to you immediately after purchase.

3. Visit a collection centre – 1,300 + accredited Australian locations available.

4. Get your results in 24-48 hours – Fast, private, and sent securely to your inbox.
