Pathology Referrals Made Simple with Our Sage Telehealth

At Our Sage, we simplify the process of getting pathology referrals, whether you're addressing a health concern, managing a condition, or taking proactive steps for your health. Our network of qualified Australian doctors can provide you with referrals for blood tests and other pathology services through a telehealth consultation. Once your referral is approved, it will be sent directly to your phone, making it easy and convenient.

What is a Pathology Referral?

A pathology referral allows you to undergo tests, such as blood tests, to monitor various health markers. Your doctor will inform you when a test is necessary, and typically, as you age you may require a blood test at least once a year as part of your routine health check-ups. Instead of being tied to a specific location, your referral is valid at any pathology centre operated by the same company, allowing you to choose the most convenient location for your test.

Types of Pathology Referrals:

  • General Blood Tests Routine analysis to assess your overall health.
  • Immunology Referrals Tests focused on your immune system.
  • Urinalysis and Stool Samples Tests for conditions related to the urinary and digestive systems.
  • Allergy Testing Identification of specific allergies.
  • STI Testing Blood tests to detect sexually transmitted infections.

How to Use Your Pathology Referral:

  1. Send Your Referral After your telehealth consultation, you'll receive the referral document via email. Simply use the ‘share’ option to send it directly to your preferred pathology center.
  2. Print and Submit If you prefer, you can print the referral and bring it to the pathology center in person.

Where to Go for a Pathology Test: You have the flexibility to visit any pathology location that accepts your referral, even if it's from a different provider. Most standard pathology tests don't require a booking.

What to Bring to Your Pathology Test:

Make sure to bring the following:

  • The pathology request form from your doctor
  • A valid Medicare card
  • Contact details for any doctors or specialists who should receive your results
