Frequently Asked Questions

No. MediTests is Australia's fastest and most convenient way to order your own blood tests. No GP consult or referral required. Your pathology referral is generated instantly when you order online and sent straight to your inbox.

Self-request pathology means you order your own blood test without needing a doctor to refer you. It is fully legal in Australia when paid privately. You browse the tests you want, check out online, and your referral is generated automatically. The tests themselves are processed by the same NATA-accredited labs your GP uses.

With a regular GP visit, you need to book an appointment, wait for a referral, and then visit pathology. MediTests removes all those steps. You simply order online, walk in to one of 3,300+ collection centres, and receive results in 24 to 48 hours. It is the simplest and fastest way to access blood testing in Australia.

Some private providers require in-person consults, telehealth bookings, or rely on home kits that are slow and depend on you mailing samples back. Many also have limited test menus or restricted reports.

MediTests is different:

• No consults required — order online instantly
• Fastest turnaround — results in 24 to 48 hours for most tests
• Full catalogue — over 150 panels available
• Nationwide coverage — 3,300+ collection centres
• Full original lab report — every marker tested, sent direct to your email
• Clear pricing — no hidden costs, consult fees or delays

No. MediTests is a private, self-request blood testing service. Our tests are not covered by Medicare or private health insurance. The trade-off is that you skip the eligibility criteria, the appointments and the wait times. You pay one upfront fee online with no hidden costs.

No. The price you see on our website is the final cost. There are no additional fees, consultation costs or lab charges. The price covers your referral, the lab processing, and your full results.

Once you order, you will receive your referral form instantly. Bring it to any of our 3,300+ NATA-accredited collection centres across Australia. We have partner centres in metro and regional areas including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin.

No booking required. Just walk into your chosen collection centre with your referral form. For maximum convenience, some centres also allow appointments if you prefer to schedule a time.

Your referral is valid only at the accredited pathology labs we partner with. These labs meet national testing standards, and using them ensures your results are processed correctly and delivered to us securely.

Your pathology referral PDF (printed or on your phone) and a valid photo ID such as a driver's licence or passport. Stay hydrated beforehand and wear loose sleeves to make the blood draw quick and comfortable.

Most visits take under 10 minutes from start to finish. A trained phlebotomist (the same professionals who collect GP-ordered samples) confirms your details, takes the sample, and you leave with a small bandage. The blood draw itself usually takes 1 to 2 minutes.

MediTests is Australia's fastest private blood testing service, with results typically delivered 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.

You will receive your results by email in a secure PDF format. The report is the full original lab report, including every marker tested with reference ranges. We notify you as soon as it is available so you can access it privately and conveniently.

No. Your results are completely private. They will not be shared with your GP or added to your My Health Record unless you choose to pass them on yourself. Because MediTests is privately billed and not Medicare-linked, the data stays with you.

If anything unusual shows up in your results, our team reviews them. In some cases one of our AHPRA-registered doctors may get in touch to offer guidance or recommend follow-up with your GP for further support. We do not offer detailed interpretation of test results because that requires a full medical history. We highly recommend bringing your results to your regular GP or health practitioner for any clinical follow-up.

No. We focus on testing only, so we do not prescribe medication or offer treatment. If your results suggest follow-up is needed, we will recommend seeing your regular GP or a relevant specialist who can take action based on your full clinical context.
