We're excited to announce the opening of our new blood test centre at 9 Bail Street, Stoke. This new location is a spacious, modern facility providing a better experience for both patients and staff. This means the closure of our Tāhunanui location, but we welcome you to new location with plenty of parking, and on a main bus route.

Due to industrial action, most of our blood test centres will be closed for the the three days in between Easter and ANZAC Day (22-24 April).

We are also closed on the public holidays of Easter and ANZAC Day.

Please plan your visit either before or after this period, and check the details on our website to check we are open.

Today is International Pathology Day – a day to recognise, celebrate and thank the teams that make pathology work!

From the phlebotomist you meet in our centres, our courier team getting the right thing to the right place, through to the technicians, scientists and pathologists who process and report your health information; we treat every collection, sample, and test like it could be our mum, grandparent, friend or workmate.

Thank you to all of the people in the Awanui Lab's whānau who play the vital role of supporting 70% of all medical decisions and 100% off cancer diagnosis in Aotearoa.
