Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vital Trend Health?

VTH is an online blood-testing platform for everyday Australians. We make it easy to order biomarker tests without a GP referral and view your results on a clean visual dashboard.

How much does it cost?

Individual tests start from $35. Targeted panels start at $109. Our most comprehensive Core Health Panel is $249. GST included. No subscription.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You don't need a doctor's appointment to get started. You order online, visit a Sonic-network collection centre, and get results on your dashboard.

Where do I get my blood drawn?

At any of 2,000+ Sonic-network accredited pathology collection centres across Australia. After ordering you'll get an SMS with your e-form.

How long until I get results?

Most results are back the same day. Some specialised markers can take 1–3 business days.

Is this covered by Medicare?

No — these are private pathology tests. There's no Medicare rebate, but there's also no GP visit needed and no waiting.

What if my results are concerning?

We provide clear context and explanations on the dashboard. For any results outside the optimal range, we recommend you discuss with your GP. We provide information, not diagnoses.

Are the labs accredited?

Yes — all testing is done at NATA-accredited Australian pathology labs in the Sonic Healthcare network.

Can I order tests for someone else?

You can pay for someone else, but the test must be for the person whose name and DOB are on the order. Pathology results belong to the person tested.

What about my data privacy?

Your results are stored securely with row-level security so only you can access them. We never share data with third parties without your explicit consent.
