Pathology in Dee Why

Dee Why Medical Centre has an on-site pathology collection room, so blood tests can be taken in the same building straight after your consultation rather than at a separate collection centre.

Blood tests and diagnostic collection

Routine blood tests

Full blood count, cholesterol, iron studies, thyroid function, blood glucose and more.

Immunisation tracking

Serology to confirm immunity where vaccination history is unclear.

Urine and swab analysis

Collection and processing for infection screening and monitoring.

When to book

  • Your GP has given you a pathology request form
  • You need fasting bloods taken first thing in the morning
  • You are monitoring an ongoing condition
  • You need pre-employment or insurance testing

How collection works

  1. Your GP gives you a request form during your consultation.
  2. Take the form to our on-site collection room — no separate appointment needed for most tests.
  3. Your sample is sent to the laboratory the same day.
  4. Most results are back within 3 to 4 days and are sent to your GP.
  5. Book a follow-up consultation with your doctor to discuss them.

Common questions

Do I need to fast?

Some tests require fasting, usually for 8 to 12 hours. Your GP will tell you if fasting is needed, and it is also noted on your request form. Water is fine while fasting.

Can I get my results directly?

A follow-up consultation is required to discuss results. Our administration team cannot release results without the doctor’s approval. If you need a copy for a specialist appointment, contact the pathology provider directly.
