What to Expect When You Get a Private Blood Test in Australia
1. Introduction — Taking the Unknown Out of Blood Testing
If you’ve never had a private blood test before, it can feel a little uncertain.
Questions like “Where do I go?”, “How long will it take?”, and “What happens after?” are completely normal.
At MediTests, we make the process simple, straightforward, and stress-free so you can focus on getting answers, not jumping through hoops.
2. Step 1 – Ordering Your Test Online
Forget waiting for a GP appointment. With MediTests, you simply:
-
Browse over 100+ available tests from general health panels to hormones, fertility, nutrition, and sports performance.
-
Add your test to cart.
-
Check out securely online.
Within minutes, your instant pathology referral will arrive in your inbox ready to use at any of the 1,300 + accredited collection centres across Australia.
3. Step 2 – Arriving at the Collection Centre
On test day, just bring:
-
Your emailed referral (printed or on your phone)
-
A valid photo ID
You’ll be greeted by a trained phlebotomist the same professionals who collect GP-ordered tests and shown to a private testing room.
Tip: Stay hydrated and wear loose sleeves so your appointment is quick and comfortable.
4. Step 3 – The Blood Draw
This part is over before you know it.
-
The phlebotomist will confirm your details and explain what they’re testing.
-
They’ll clean the area, take the sample (usually from your arm), and apply a small bandage.
For most people, the process takes under 10 minutes from start to finish.
5. Step 4 – Behind-the-Scenes Lab Processing
Your sample is sent to a NATA-accredited Australian lab the same standard as a GP referral.
The partnered labs follow strict protocols for accuracy, so you can trust your results are reliable and clinically valid.
6. Step 5 – Getting Your Results
Once the lab finishes testing:
-
Results are sent directly and securely to your email within 24-48 hours.
-
You can review them privately or share them with your GP, coach, or specialist if you wish.
If any urgent markers are flagged, you’ll be contacted with guidance on the next steps.
