Comprehensive blood test panel in North Hobart, TAS

Blood tests you order yourself

• The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) classes consumer-requested tests as higher-risk diagnostic self-tests. Tests through accredited Australian laboratories with professional sample collection operate within Australian regulation. RCPA strongly opposes international direct-to-consumer test kits for medical purposes, which have no Australian regulatory oversight (position statement, April 2026).
• Testing people without symptoms can find conditions or risk factors that may not benefit from diagnosis or treatment (incidental findings).
