Pathology Collection & Blood Testing

On-site pathology collection via Australian Clinical Labs (ACL) for standard blood tests, functional pathology, and specialist test kits. Medicare-rebateable blood testing available with GP referral, covering full blood counts, metabolic panels, thyroid function, lipid profiles, hormonal assays, inflammation markers, vitamin and mineral levels, and more. Functional medicine test kits for comprehensive health assessment also available through the clinic's naturopaths and integrative medicine team.

Integrated Health SA in Belair, South Australia, provides on-site pathology collection through Australian Clinical Labs (ACL), one of Australia's leading national pathology networks with collection centres across South Australia. This means patients attending the Blackwood Hospital campus for IV infusion, GP, integrative medicine, or allied health appointments can have blood drawn and standard pathology samples collected on-site in the same visit — a significant convenience advantage over attending a standalone pathology collection centre. Standard Medicare-rebateable blood tests available with a GP referral include the full blood count (FBC), electrolytes and renal function (EUC), liver function tests (LFTs), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid function panel, fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides), HbA1c and fasting glucose for diabetes monitoring, inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and iron studies including serum ferritin and transferrin saturation. The clinic's integrative medicine and naturopathy team can also order functional pathology test kits — which may include gut microbiome analysis, DUTCH hormone metabolite testing, organic acid testing, comprehensive digestive stool analysis (CDSA), food sensitivity panels, and heavy metal testing — providing a broader picture of metabolic health beyond standard Medicare-listed pathology. Adelaide Hills residents benefit from having both standard and functional pathology accessible within the same integrative health centre, streamlining the path from testing to interpretation and treatment. Results can be reviewed by the on-site GP team, integrative medicine specialist Dr Jonathan Meyer, or naturopathic practitioners depending on the nature of the testing and the patient's treatment plan.
