Large panels, limited depth
Function helped popularise preventative lab testing. Over time, much of the experience still felt like a big panel and a static report, not a living record that connects your blood to what you eat, take, and do.
Function Health in Australia
Looking for Function Health in Australia?
Function Health is a US subscription known for large blood panels and twice-yearly testing. It is not available in Australia. If you searched for it here, you probably want comprehensive biomarkers, retesting, and a platform that turns results into something useful over time.
Hemexa is a different product, built for Australians: GP-reviewed requests, Laverty collection nationwide, 60+ signature markers on your baseline (a small number are sex-specific), an included six-month retest, a health-system dashboard, a personalised plan after every panel, pathology imports from other labs, and supplement insights actually tied to your blood results.
Your annual baseline includes 60+ signature markers (exact count depends on sex; typically 59–63 measured). Fast-moving markers are tested again on your included six-month retest.

Why this search exists
Function Health made large panels mainstream. Australia needed its own version.
Function Health operates in the United States through Quest Diagnostics. Australians cannot sign up. That gap is why competitors like Vively write directly against Function Health, and why high-intent searches for “Function Health Australia” keep growing.
Hemexa is not a US clone. It is for Australians who want a living health record: pathology imports, blood-linked supplement insights, health-system scores, and a plan that updates after each panel.
From a former Function member
Built after using Function Health in the US
Hemexa was shaped by a founder who was a Function Health member while living in the United States. The appeal was clear: test more markers, more often. But the product felt very different from what we are building here.
Wearables over product depth
The clearest additions we saw were wearables integrations, like Oura and fitness trackers. Useful context, but not the same as deeper intelligence built around your pathology over time.
Supplements captured, not connected
You can enter supplements during Function setup. In our experience, that did not translate into intelligent, blood-linked supplement guidance the way Hemexa is designed to deliver after each panel.
Where Hemexa goes further
What Hemexa built instead: imports, blood-linked supplements, and a living record.
Function Health does not let you upload past tests from other labs, and supplement entry at signup did not, in our experience, produce the kind of marker-linked guidance Hemexa is built for. Hemexa lets you add pathology PDFs yourself after your baseline, without waiting on a concierge workflow.
One timeline for every test
Most Australian options only show results from their own panels. Hemexa lets you bring older PDFs into the same record after your baseline, so you are not starting from zero.
Intelligence from pathology, not wearables alone
Hemexa is built around what your blood shows over time: health-system scores, trends, a personalised plan, and supplement guidance linked to your results. That is a different product philosophy from adding Oura and fitness tracker connections on top of a large panel.
What you get with Hemexa
Not a Function clone: a platform built for Australian pathology.
Built for Australia
Function Health runs through Quest in the US. Hemexa coordinates GP-reviewed requests and Laverty collection across Australia.
60+ baseline, 70+ marker results across the year
Your membership includes a full annual baseline and an included six-month retest. 60+ signature markers on baseline per member, with a small number sex-specific (male or female hormones).
Import past pathology PDFs
After your first Hemexa panel, upload results from other Australian pathology providers yourself and view them in one timeline. Function Health does not offer external imports; some Australian providers collect records via a concierge team instead.
Supplements that respond to your blood
Log your stack and get insights connected to your actual marker results after each panel, not just a supplement list collected at signup.
