Blood Testing in Australia

Simple iron test to measure iron levels in blood and body stores.

Measures TSH and thyroid hormones to assess thyroid function. Helps detect hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Measures morning serum cortisol — the primary stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol follows a strong circadian rhythm, peaking within 30 minutes of waking and declining through the day. Chronically elevated cortisol drives weight gain (particularly visceral fat), disrupts sleep architecture, suppresses immune function, and accelerates muscle loss. Chronically low cortisol suggests adrenal insufficiency or HPA axis exhaustion from prolonged stress.

Measures hormone levels to assess endocrine function and overall hormonal balance.

Checks vitamin levels to identify deficiencies that may affect energy, immunity, and overall health.

Comprehensive blood test to assess insulin resistance and its associated health risks.

Simple thyroid test to determine if your thyroid is over or underactive.

Standalone testosterone test for a quick, affordable check of total testosterone levels without a GP referral.

Urine PCR test for three common STIs: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomonas.

A targeted 15-marker panel measuring total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, and LH — the four markers needed to properly assess whether testosterone is genuinely low and where the problem originates. Total testosterone alone is insufficient because SHBG binds testosterone and makes it unavailable to tissues. Free testosterone and the total-to-SHBG ratio reveal what your body can actually use.

Measures your average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months using glycated haemoglobin — a more reliable indicator of metabolic health than a single fasting glucose reading. HbA1c is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, but it is equally valuable for detecting pre-diabetes at a stage when lifestyle changes can reverse the trajectory. Approximately 1.5 million Australians have diabetes, with many more undiagnosed.

Measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D — the circulating form your body uses for bone health, immune function, mood regulation, and muscle performance. Vitamin D deficiency affects up to 1 in 4 Australian adults despite abundant sunshine, driven by indoor lifestyles, sunscreen use, and darker skin tones. This affordable single-marker test provides the data point that informs whether supplementation is needed and at what dose.

Comprehensive sperm test to assess male fertility.

14-parameter full blood count measuring haemoglobin, red cells, white cells, platelets, and differential for comprehensive blood health assessment.

A 15-marker panel combining HbA1c, fasting glucose, and fasting insulin — the three markers that together provide a complete picture of blood sugar regulation. HbA1c shows your 3-month average, fasting glucose reflects immediate control, and fasting insulin reveals whether your pancreas is overworking to maintain normal glucose levels. More comprehensive than HbA1c alone and far more informative than the standard GP glucose test.

An entry-level hormone screen measuring 15 markers including LH, FSH, oestradiol, testosterone, cortisol, and TSH — the core hormones that govern energy, mood, libido, weight, and sleep. Provides a broad hormonal overview at an accessible price point, suitable for both men and women wanting to investigate whether hormonal disruption is behind their symptoms before committing to a comprehensive panel.

An affordable entry-level health screen covering 27 biomarkers across liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, metabolic health, inflammation, and cholesterol. Provides a solid baseline for anyone wanting to monitor their core health metrics without a GP referral.

Basic health screening with full blood count (FBC), ESR, liver function, kidney function, lipid profile, fasting glucose, magnesium, and CRP. Ideal first health check.

Blood test to detect Ross River virus infection.

iMEDICAL's standard health check adds a full blood count with ESR to the comprehensive metabolic panel, providing a complete overview of blood cell health alongside metabolic, liver, kidney, lipid, and inflammation markers. The FBC reveals red and white blood cell counts, haemoglobin, platelets, and ESR — useful for detecting anaemia, infection, and inflammatory conditions.

Single cortisol measurement to assess adrenal function and stress response.

Core STD blood screening: HIV (4th gen ELISA), Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody. Results in 24-48 hours.

Measures homocysteine — an amino acid that at elevated levels is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline, and accelerated ageing. Homocysteine is a direct marker of methylation efficiency, the biochemical process responsible for DNA repair, neurotransmitter production, and detoxification. Elevated levels indicate impaired B12, folate, or B6 metabolism and are modifiable through targeted supplementation.

Blood test measuring cortisol and DHEA-S to assess adrenal function and hormone balance.
