Patient Information
Patients are asked to bring their Medicare card for bulk billing and a pathology request form signed by your doctor. If the pathology request form your doctor has given you is NOT a Pathology South form, Pathology South staff can still perform the collection for you.
Pathology South provides pathology collection services for children. For enquiries or to book an appointment, please call 03 6166 0150.
Please see the information below as a guide:
- 0–5 years: An appointment is required.
- 5–10 years: Walk-ins are welcome at the Wellington Clinic collection centre, although appointments are preferred.
- Over 10 years: Patients can attend any of our collection centres at Wellington Clinics, Rosny, Glenorchy or Kingston, depending on the tests required.
If you have any questions about paediatric testing or appointments, please contact us on 03 6166 0150. A request form is required from either a specialist or a GP.
Only your doctor can interpret pathology test results in the context of your individual clinical situation and the known limitations of the tests they have requested. Your doctors advice supersedes any information provided on this site. If you would like a copy of your results, please ask your doctor.
The pathology test your doctor has ordered is important. To understand why it has been requested, what is being tested and what the results will tell the doctor, please visit Pathology Tests Explained. Pathology Tests Explained is a not-for-profit group managed by a consortium of medical and scientific organisations. Information is accurate, independent and reviewed by a scientific editorial board. Please note that Pathology Tests Explained provides general information only. You should always talk to your doctor about your test results.
