Did you know that you can now access most pathology results (blood / urine) in real time via My Health Record?

This change supports:
☑️ Faster diagnosis
☑️ Earlier intervention
☑️ Better continuity of care

Earlier visibility means that patients and their clinicians can act sooner, improving outcomes in chronic disease and overall wellbeing.

💡Remember - A follow up appointment to review pathology results with your doctor may be required to interpret the test results in the context of your medical history, symptoms, and overall health.
