For patients
If your doctor delivers a Telehealth consult over the phone or online, they may email you your pathology referral, or they may send the referral to Melbourne Pathology and you will receive an SMS for us with a barcode and a link to your referral. You can bring your phone with the barcode or referral (your date of birth will open the referral) to any Melbourne Pathology collection centre convenient to you.
Please note: some specialised tests are only performed at specific collection centres and some collections require a booking. Please use the test filters when searching for a collection centre.
