Who Is This For

Built for anyone monitoring a treatment

If you're on a therapy that affects your hormones, metabolism, or organ function, regular blood monitoring is the only way to know how your body is actually responding.

GLP-1 medication users

If you're taking a weight management or metabolic medication, regular bloodwork helps you and your clinician track how your body is responding and manage any side effects early.

TRT & testosterone therapy

Track testosterone, oestradiol, haematocrit, and prostate markers throughout treatment. Optimise dosing, prevent complications, stay on top of your protocol.

Hormone replacement therapy

Monitor oestrogen, progesterone, and related markers throughout HRT. Essential whether you're starting, adjusting, or already in stable treatment.

Performance & optimisation

If you're using compounds, protocols, or programs designed to optimise performance or body composition, your bloodwork is the only objective way to track what's working.

Tracking long-term changes

Six months in, twelve months in, two years in. Build a baseline, then track how your markers respond to your therapy over time without needing a referral every cycle.

Safety-first patients

If your prescriber asked for follow-up bloodwork or you want to monitor your own health between scripts, you can order what you need today and walk in tomorrow.

Why monitoring matters

Therapies like GLP-1 medications and TRT can produce real results, but they also affect systems across your whole body. Regular blood monitoring is how you catch unwanted changes early, optimise your protocol, and confirm your therapy is doing what it should. Without it, you're flying blind.

FAQ

GLP-1 & therapy monitoring questions

The questions Australians ask most about blood monitoring for GLP-1 medications, TRT, and hormone replacement therapy.

Before starting a GLP-1 medication such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, most prescribers want a baseline panel covering pancreatic enzymes (lipase, amylase), thyroid function (TSH), liver function (ALT, AST, GGT), kidney function (creatinine, eGFR), fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, and a full blood count. These markers establish your starting point and flag anything that needs follow-up. Our GLP-1 Readiness Blood Test covers all of them.
Most clinicians recommend bloodwork 3 months after starting a GLP-1 medication, then every 6 months once your dose is stable. Earlier testing is appropriate if you develop new symptoms (abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, severe nausea) which can indicate pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. The GLP-1 Progress Blood Test is built for this check-in cadence. Always follow the schedule set by your prescribing clinician.
Yes. MediTests is a private, self-request pathology service. You order online, receive an instant PDF referral, and walk into any of our 3,300+ collection centres. No GP appointment, no Medicare involvement, no referral required. All results are reviewed by AHPRA-registered Australian doctors.
The general guidance is bloodwork at 6 to 8 weeks after starting or adjusting a TRT dose, then every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months once levels stabilise. Key markers to track include total and free testosterone, oestradiol (E2), SHBG, haematocrit, PSA, lipids, and liver function. The TRT Advanced Monitoring Panel is purpose-built for these check-ins.
Essential TRT monitoring markers are: total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, oestradiol (E2), DHT, haematocrit (HCT, to monitor for polycythaemia), PSA (especially for men over 40), full blood count, lipid profile, and liver function. Some clinicians also track IGF-1, prolactin, and HbA1c. Our TRT Baseline and TRT Advanced panels cover all of these.
GLP-1 receptor agonists slow gastric emptying and stimulate insulin release. The main monitoring concerns are: pancreatic enzyme elevations (lipase and amylase, which can indicate pancreatitis risk), changes to liver function tests (usually improvement, but worth tracking), and thyroid function (particularly because some GLP-1 medications carry a warning around medullary thyroid cancer in animal studies). This is why ongoing blood monitoring matters even when you feel fine. Always discuss any specific concerns with your prescriber.
MediTests GLP-1 monitoring panels start at $199 for the GLP-1 Readiness Blood Test, $249 for the GLP-1 Progress panel (mid-treatment), and $469 for the GLP-1 Extended Health Review (long-term comprehensive). All prices include the private pathology referral, lab processing, and your results report. No additional consult fees, no hidden charges.
Yes. For male hormone replacement, the TRT Baseline and TRT Advanced panels cover the full hormone profile. For female HRT, the Custom Therapy Panel lets you pick the exact markers your clinician wants tracked. Examples: oestradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, SHBG, prolactin, testosterone, and any related markers. For broader hormone testing, you can also explore our Hormone Blood Tests category.
Yes. All of our therapy monitoring panels include lipids, glucose, HbA1c, or insulin, which require an 8 to 12 hour fast (water only) for accurate results. Most people fast overnight and walk in first thing in the morning. For TRT panels specifically, morning collection is preferred because testosterone naturally peaks between 7am and 10am.

Yes. MediTests is fully private. There's no Medicare involvement, which means your results aren't added to your Medicare record or My Health Record. Many people on therapy specifically choose us for this reason. Bloodwork stays between you and your prescribing clinician, not in the wider public health system. Results are emailed to you directly as a secure PDF.
Most results arrive within 24 to 48 hours after your sample is collected. You'll receive a secure PDF pathology report directly to your inbox, with each marker shown alongside its reference range so it's easy to read. If you have any markers flagged outside the reference range, our review doctors will note this on the report.

GLP-1 Blood Test in Australia: A Complete Monitoring Guide

GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are prescribed to a growing number of Australians for type 2 diabetes management and weight management. These medications affect multiple body systems including pancreatic function, thyroid, liver, kidney, glucose regulation, and lipid metabolism. Australian clinical guidelines recommend baseline blood testing before starting GLP-1 therapy, follow-up bloodwork at 3 months after initiation, then 6-monthly monitoring once stable. The MediTests GLP-1 Readiness Blood Test ($199) is the baseline panel ordered before starting treatment. The GLP-1 Progress Blood Test ($249) is for mid-treatment monitoring. The GLP-1 Extended Health Review ($469) provides comprehensive long-term review including nutritional markers (B12, D, folate, iron), hormones, cardiovascular markers (ApoB, hsCRP), and full body system monitoring for anyone on extended GLP-1 therapy.

What is included in a GLP-1 blood monitoring panel?

A standard GLP-1 monitoring panel includes: pancreatic enzymes (lipase, amylase) to monitor for pancreatitis, thyroid function (TSH, with Free T3 and Free T4 in extended panels), liver function tests (ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin), kidney function (creatinine, urea, eGFR), fasting glucose, HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin), insulin, full blood count (FBC), lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), and inflammation markers (CRP). Extended panels add nutritional markers (vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, iron studies, ferritin), hormones (testosterone, oestradiol, cortisol), and advanced cardiovascular markers (ApoB, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, hsCRP).

TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) Blood Monitoring in Australia

Testosterone replacement therapy requires regular blood monitoring to optimise dosing, manage side effects, and prevent complications such as polycythaemia (high red blood cell count). Australian endocrinology guidance recommends bloodwork at 6 to 8 weeks after starting or changing dose, then every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months once levels are stable. Key TRT monitoring markers include total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, oestradiol (E2), DHT, LH, FSH, prolactin, haematocrit (HCT), PSA (especially for men over 40), lipid profile, and liver function. The MediTests TRT Baseline Bloodwork ($249) is for anyone starting or considering TRT. The TRT Advanced Monitoring Panel ($549) is the complete mid-cycle monitoring panel for people already on therapy.

HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) Monitoring

Hormone replacement therapy requires ongoing blood monitoring to ensure hormone levels are within optimal ranges and to track related health markers. For male HRT and TRT, the MediTests TRT panels cover the full required hormone profile. For female HRT (oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone replacement), the Custom Therapy Panel allows you to select the exact markers relevant to your specific therapy. These can include oestradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, SHBG, prolactin, total and free testosterone, and any related health markers your clinician wants tracked.

Why Australians choose MediTests for GLP-1 and therapy monitoring

Many Australians on therapy report difficulty getting comprehensive monitoring through their GP. Bulk-billed appointments are short, Medicare-rebated pathology often caps the markers a GP can order, comprehensive panels frequently get refused or require multiple referrals, and the same panels need new referrals every time you want to reorder. MediTests removes all of that. You order online, you walk in, you get results. No appointments, no gatekeeping, no Medicare involvement. Your results stay private and are not added to your Medicare record or My Health Record. This is important for many people on therapy who value confidentiality.
