One-time payment of A$169. GST included. No subscription.
What this panel measures
- Total Testosterone: Total testosterone in your blood, free plus bound.
- Free Testosterone: The biologically active testosterone available to your tissues.
- SHBG: Sex hormone binding globulin — binds testosterone and affects what's available.
- Cortisol: Primary stress hormone; also reflects sleep and recovery.
- DHEA-S: Adrenal androgen precursor; declines with age.
- LH: Luteinising hormone — the pituitary signal driving testosterone production.
- FSH: Follicle stimulating hormone — reproductive health signal.

Frequently asked questions
Should I fast for this test?
Not required, but most labs ask you to come in the morning before food for the most consistent reading.
I'm on TRT — can I still take this?
Yes. Speak with your prescribing doctor about timing your test relative to your dose for a meaningful reading.
How often should I check my hormones?
Twice a year is a sensible cadence for most people; more often if you're actively making changes.
