You can get a pathology referral the same day without visiting a physical clinic. Connect with an AHPRA-registered doctor through Hola Health and receive your form instantly via email. For online pathology, our GP acts as a clinical gatekeeper. They will ensure the test is clinically indicated. Referral is sent at the doctor’s clinical discretion.

How it works

  1. Book a consult: Choose “Pathology Referral” or “Blood Test” on our app or website.
  2. Speak to a GP: A doctor will review your symptoms and health needs online.
  3. Get your form: If approved, your digital referral is sent to your phone or email immediately.
  4. Visit a lab: Take your digital form to any centre, such as 4Cyte, Laverty, or Clinpath. Most labs accept the form on your phone – no printing is needed!

Why choose an online referral?

Common tests you can request

Request now with Hola Health: Blood test referral fast

Note: While Hola Health provides the digital referral form, the pathology laboratory (e.g., 4Cyte, Laverty) may charge a separate “gap fee”. Diagnostic pathology via telehealth relies on the accuracy of the health history provided. In case of severe chest pain, sudden weakness, or heavy unexplained bleeding, do not wait for a pathology test—call 000 or visit an Emergency Department immediately. We recommend sharing your results with your regular GP for continuity of care.
