Before you arrive
A prepared visit is a smoother visit.
Some tests have specific timing, fasting or preparation requirements. Follow the instructions from your requesting practitioner or confirm them with PathCare.
Have your request, identification, medical-aid information and any relevant payment details with you.
Contact Eastway to confirm current collection hours and preparation before your visit.
Need urgent medical help? A specimen-collection point is not an emergency service. Contact emergency services or your treating clinician when care cannot wait.
After collection
Your results, in the right hands.
Results are sent to the requesting practitioner or organisation. Eligible adult patients can also access supported reports through PathCare's secure patient portal.
Some report types are not shown directly in the patient portal. Always discuss results with the clinician who requested the tests so they can be interpreted in the context of your care.
