North West Pathology

We are now able to offer international travellers and students with private health coverage a better process whereby they will not be out-of-pocket for pathology testing.

In most cases, we will be able to bill the Health Fund directly, so no payment will be required at the time of collection. In the past, students were required to pay upfront and then reclaim from their insurer.

Health Funds that offer no out-of-pocket arrangements include:
Allianz World Care Students, BUPA, Medibank Private, AHM and NIB.

Our Devonport collection centre at 20-22 Oldaker St is now open on Saturday mornings for specimen collection.
