TORBAY COMMUNITY LAB NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
For many years, our local community laboratory has been proudly supported by Awanui Labs (formerly Labtests). However, as of April 2025, this funding has been discontinued. Recognising the importance of an on-site blood collection service, Torbay Medical Centre is eager to continue providing this vital resource.
This facility has been a real asset—not just for our patients, but for the wider Torbay community. It offers convenient access, booked appointments and MUCH shorter wait times compared to larger centres. The friendly expertise of our long-standing phlebotomist, Cheryl, who ensures every visit is smooth and stress-free – she’s AMAZING!
We are committed to continuing this service, but we can’t do it alone. Your support is crucial. By choosing to book your blood test appointments with the Torbay Community Lab, you're helping to sustain a resource that benefits everyone in our area. This fabulous service is a $10 charge ($6 with community services card) after the funding cut.
Let’s keep this community service thriving—together.
