Pathology FAQs
How do I prepare for my pathology test?
Preparation depends on the type of test you’re having. Some tests may require fasting or avoiding certain foods and medications. We’ll provide you with specific instructions when you book your appointment.
How long will it take to get my results?
The turnaround time for test results can vary depending on the type of test conducted. Most routine tests are processed within 24-48 hours. More specialised tests may take longer. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when you have your test.
Are pathology services covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
Many pathology tests are covered by Medicare, while others may be covered by private health insurance, depending on your policy. We’ll help you understand the likely costs and any rebates available to you.
Can I have pathology tests done without a referral from a GP?
In Australia, most pathology tests require a referral from a GP to ensure the test is necessary and to help interpret the results in the context of your overall health. Our GPs can provide a referral after a consultation.
What happens during a pathology test?
Most commonly, a pathology test involves taking a small sample of blood, urine, or tissue. The procedure is quick and performed by a trained phlebotomist or nurse, aiming to make it as painless and comfortable as possible.
How will I receive my results?
Your results will be sent directly to your GP, who will then discuss them with you. We ensure confidentiality and security in handling your health information.
What if I need further tests or treatments based on my results?
If your results indicate the need for further investigation or treatment, your GP will discuss the options with you, including any referrals to specialists if necessary.
