Listen Health alternative
Looking for a Listen Health alternative?
Listen Health is one of the closest products to Hemexa in Australia: Healius collection, no GP visit required to get tested, and a member dashboard. Their site publishes an Advanced Whole-Body Membership at $495/year ("less than $10 per week") testing "90+ biomarkers tested annually", plus a "Choose My Own Tests" option from $40 per test across a "120+ biomarkers" catalogue. They recommend testing once a year, with further retesting optional and discounted.
Hemexa is $99.92/month billed annually (AU$1,199/year) all-in: GP-reviewed requests and results, 2,000+ Healius Pathology collection centres nationwide, 76–80 signature markers on baseline, an included six-month retest on 12 fast-moving markers, a health-system dashboard, a personalised plan after every panel, self-serve pathology PDF imports, a health-event timeline, member-managed conditions, tracking for supplements, peptides, and over-the-counter medications tied to your blood, and genetic context from a 23andMe or AncestryDNA file you already have.
Your baseline panel covers 76 signature markers for men and 80 for women. The difference is 4 female hormone markers. Fast-moving markers are drawn again on your included six-month retest.
Six-month retest includedGP review of every resultPublished critical-results thresholds
Why compare
Same pathology network, same no-referral model. The questions are what your annual price covers, and who reviews the results.
Listen Health and Hemexa both exclusively use Healius Pathology for collection, and both issue a pathology request without an in-person GP visit. Listen's FAQ says "We recommend testing once per year", with further testing available as discounted, paid retesting.
Hemexa builds a six-month retest into every membership, itemises every marker on the baseline panel, and publishes named thresholds for urgent results. Listen's consent policy says it does not clinically review or interpret every result: critical values go to its Chief Medical Officer, and other results are released as reported by the laboratory. Both are Healius-collected memberships; the difference is what is already included, and how results are reviewed.
Membership panel
What the 90+ is made of
Listen Health markets "90+ biomarkers tested annually" on its membership. On /what-we-test, filtering to "Advanced Whole Body Membership" (data-filter=standard) shows 83 unique named rows as at 2 September 2026. That is what the public page lists today, not an independent recount of every analyte on the lab form.
9 urine dipstick rows
A dipstick screen (glucose, leukocytes, nitrites, pH, blood, bacteria, and related fields), not a quantitative urine albumin/creatinine ratio.
11 ratios and derived values
Calculated or ratio rows such as TC/HDL, TG/HDL, and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio. Both providers count ratios toward their headline totals.
1 calculated biological age
A biological-age score derived from the panel, not a separate lab assay.
The remaining rows are individual blood assays on the membership filter. Expensive or specialised tests are tagged as Add-Ons on the same page, including Lp(a), active B12, folate, thyroid antibodies, genetics, heavy metals, AMH, and semen analysis.
Hemexa's annual baseline is a named list of 76–80 signature markers, itemised and published, including ApoB, Lp(a), and urine ACR. The question is not only how high the headline number is, but what assays, ratios, and screens are already in the membership price.
How ApoB is tagged on their test list
On the same /what-we-test page, membership versus premium tagging does not line up for ApoB:
- Apolipoprotein B / Apolipoprotein A1 Ratio:
data-filter="standard" - Apolipoprotein B (ApoB):
data-plans="premium"
A ratio that requires ApoB cannot be produced if ApoB was not measured. That is how the page is tagged today. Confirm on their site.
Urine on the membership panel
Listen's membership filter includes a urine dipstick screen: glucose, leukocytes, nitrites, pH, blood, bacteria, and related dipstick fields. That is a qualitative screen, useful for infection or gross abnormalities.
The kidney-staging test, urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), is on Listen's add-on list as "Microalbumin, Urine". It is not on the membership filter we counted above.
Hemexa's annual baseline includes urine ACR (albumin, creatinine, and the ACR ratio). Kidney Health Australia's Kidney Health Check pairs eGFR with urine ACR for people at risk. Hemexa includes both on the baseline panel.

Different models
Two Healius memberships, one difference: what happens at six months
Listen Health and Hemexa both coordinate testing through the Healius Pathology network, and both skip an in-person GP visit. Listen arranges a phone call for critical life-threatening values. Hemexa reviews every returned panel against published thresholds and holds urgent results until you have been contacted. The other difference shows up after your first panel: what your annual price already includes.
Included retest vs discounted retest
Listen's FAQ says "We recommend testing once per year" and describes retesting as "access to discounted re-testing and add-on panels anytime", priced separately and not published. Hemexa's membership includes a six-month retest on fast-moving markers at no extra cost, so a mid-year check is already paid for.
One price vs a membership plus a menu
Listen publishes two doors: the $495/year Advanced Whole-Body Membership and a "Choose My Own Tests" menu "from $40" per test, plus add-ons (their terms note "some services and tests may require additional payment beyond standard membership pricing"). Hemexa is one annual price with baseline, retest, dashboard, plan, stack insights, conditions, timeline, and DNA file import included, and nothing further to buy.
Twice-yearly vs once-yearly
Listen's membership is built around one annual draw, with further testing optional and paid. Hemexa is built around two draws a year: your annual baseline plus an included six-month retest, so your dashboard has a second data point without an extra order.
Cost structure
What each door costs, using published prices
Listen Health publishes two ways to test and Hemexa publishes one. Comparing the structure, not just the headline number, is the clearest way to see what each actually costs across a year.
Listen Health: membership or pay-per-test, plus unpriced extras
- Advanced Whole-Body Membership$495/year
- Billed annually, marketed as "less than $10 per week". Listen lists "90+ biomarkers tested annually across every major body system" and one included annual draw. The membership card also shows "Save $150" against the à la carte path, without publishing the comparison base.
- Choose My Own TestsFrom $40
- Pay per test, "Pick from 120+ biomarkers", no annual commitment. Full platform access is included with either door.
What Listen prices on top (published, no dollar amount)
- Add-on tests listed on /what-we-test, including Lp(a), active B12, folate, thyroid antibodies, genetics, heavy metals, AMH, and semen analysis
- Discounted member re-testing, described as "transparent pricing" in the FAQ but not published as a dollar amount
- Any service its terms describe as beyond "standard membership pricing"
Every Listen Health figure above is quoted from listenhealth.com.au, /faq, /what-we-test, and /terms-of-service as at 2 September 2026. Some third-party listings still cite older $690 and $1,090 tiers; those do not match the live site. Confirm current pricing on their site.
Hemexa: one price, nothing further to buy
$1,199/year
- Your annual baseline panel and your included six-month retest are both in that price.
- The dashboard, plan, pathology imports, conditions, health-event timeline, and stack insights (supplements, peptides, and over-the-counter medications) are in that price.
- If you already have a 23andMe or AncestryDNA file, genetic context is included. Hemexa does not sell a DNA test.
- There is no membership-plus-menu structure and no add-on ladder priced on top.
- Every marker in your baseline is itemised and published, including ApoB and Lp(a).
- You know the full cost before you join, because there is only one number.
What you get with Hemexa
Included retest, GP review of every result, and published thresholds.
A six-month retest that is already paid for
Listen recommends testing once per year and prices retesting as an optional, discounted extra. Hemexa builds a six-month retest into membership, so a mid-year check does not mean a second purchase decision.
76–80 signature markers on baseline
Your annual baseline covers 76–80 signature markers across 16 body systems. Women receive four additional hormone markers: estradiol, FSH, LH and progesterone. Listen's membership filter on /what-we-test lists 83 named rows toward "90+", including 14 FBC lines, 9 urine dipstick fields, 11 ratios/derived values, and a calculated biological age. Lp(a), active B12, folate, thyroid antibodies, genetics, heavy metals, AMH, semen analysis, and urine ACR ("Microalbumin, Urine") are add-ons. ApoB is tagged premium-only while an ApoB/ApoA1 ratio sits on the standard filter. Hemexa's baseline is a named list and includes ApoB, Lp(a), and urine ACR.
GP review of every result, with published thresholds
Listen's FAQ promises "an immediate phone call from one of our doctors" for critical life-threatening results. Its Consent to Testing & Clinical Oversight Policy, updated 9 July 2026, says it does not clinically review or interpret every result: critical values are escalated to its Chief Medical Officer, and other results are made available as reported by the laboratory. Hemexa publishes named tier 1 and tier 2 marker thresholds, a registered Australian GP reviews requests and returned results, and tier 1 values are held until same-day contact is confirmed.
One price, and you know it before you join
Hemexa is $99.92/month billed annually (AU$1,199/year), covering baseline, retest, dashboard, plan, imports, conditions, timeline, stack insights, and DNA file import. There is no membership-plus-menu structure and no add-on priced on top, so the number you see when you join is the number you pay.
What sits next to your results
After the panel, what can you actually log?
Listen and Hemexa both store lab results in an app. The useful question is what else sits next to those results: the stack you take, the conditions you live with, the events that change how blood should be read, and any DNA file you already have.
See whether your stack is working
Hemexa lets you log supplements, peptides, and over-the-counter medications, then snapshots that stack against each blood draw so you can see whether markers moved. Listen's public pages describe diet and lifestyle recommendations and advise pausing non-essential supplements before the draw. They do not describe a member-logged stack, peptide tracking, or insights tied to what you actually take.
Add the conditions you are living with
Hemexa has a member-managed conditions list that feeds your health plan. Listen asks a health questionnaire at signup and tracks biomarkers linked to common conditions. A member-managed problem list is not described on its public pages.
A timeline for events, not only lab rows
Hemexa has two timelines: past pathology PDFs after your first baseline, and a health-event timeline for dated things such as diagnoses, surgeries, and medication changes. Listen tracks lab trends over time and lists "Upload past results". A health-event timeline is not described.
Import DNA you already have
Hemexa does not sell a DNA test. If you already have a 23andMe or AncestryDNA raw file, you can import it and Hemexa adds genetic context to markers such as Lp(a) and iron. Listen sells genetic add-on lab tests, including MTHFR sequencing, as paid extras. Importing a consumer DNA file is not described on its public pages.

FAQ
Common comparison questions
- What is the best Listen Health alternative in Australia?
- Hemexa is $99.92/month billed annually (AU$1,199/year) for Australians who want comprehensive pathology at one price with an included retest: GP-reviewed requests and results, Healius Pathology collection at 2,000+ centres, 76–80 signature markers on your baseline panel, with an included six-month retest on 12 fast-moving markers, self-serve pathology imports, member-managed conditions, a health-event timeline, tracking for supplements, peptides, and over-the-counter medications, genetic context from a DNA file you already have, and a health-system dashboard.
- How does Hemexa compare to Listen Health pricing?
- Listen Health publishes two doors: an "Advanced Whole-Body Membership" at $495/year ("less than $10 per week"), testing "90+ biomarkers tested annually across every major body system", and a "Choose My Own Tests" option "from $40" per test, drawing from a "120+ biomarkers" catalogue. Its terms note that some services and tests may require additional payment beyond standard membership pricing, and discounted member re-testing is offered without a published dollar amount. Hemexa is one flat $99.92/month billed annually (AU$1,199/year) for baseline, an included six-month retest, dashboard, plan, stack insights, conditions, timeline, and DNA file import, with nothing further to buy. Every Listen Health figure here is their own published wording on listenhealth.com.au as at 2 September 2026; confirm current pricing on each provider website.
- Does Listen Health include a six-month retest?
- No. Listen Health's FAQ says "We recommend testing once per year" and describes retesting as "access to discounted re-testing and add-on panels anytime", which is optional and separately priced. Hemexa includes a six-month retest on fast-moving markers in every membership, so a mid-year check is already paid for.
- Does a doctor review every Listen Health result?
- Listen's FAQ says a registered doctor reviews results to make sure no urgent follow-up is required, and that critical life-threatening results get "an immediate phone call from one of our doctors." Its Consent to Testing & Clinical Oversight Policy, updated 9 July 2026, is more specific: "Listen Health does not clinically review or interpret every result." Critical or potentially life-threatening values are escalated to its Chief Medical Officer; all other results are made available as reported by the laboratory, with educational information. Hemexa publishes named tier 1 and tier 2 thresholds, a registered Australian GP reviews requests and returned results, and tier 1 values are held until same-day contact is confirmed. Read Hemexa's Critical Results Policy for the named marker list.
- Does Listen Health's 90+ mean the same markers as Hemexa's 76 to 80?
- Not necessarily. Listen's membership filter on /what-we-test (data-filter=standard) lists 83 unique named rows toward "90+" as at 2 September 2026: 14 full blood count rows, 9 urine dipstick fields, 11 ratios or derived values, and 1 calculated biological age, plus individual blood assays. Add-ons on the same page include Lp(a), active B12, folate, thyroid antibodies, genetics, heavy metals, AMH, semen analysis, and urine ACR ("Microalbumin, Urine"). ApoB is tagged data-plans="premium" while an ApoB/ApoA1 ratio sits on the standard membership filter. Hemexa's annual baseline is 76–80 signature markers, itemised and published, including ApoB, Lp(a), and urine ACR, plus an included six-month retest on 12 fast-moving markers. Both providers count ratios toward their totals; the difference is which named assays are already in the membership price.
- How many markers does Listen Health test compared to Hemexa?
- Listen Health publishes two figures: "90+" biomarkers on its annual membership and "120+" biomarkers in its pay-per-test catalogue. Filtering /what-we-test to the membership panel shows 83 named rows (14 FBC, 9 urine dipstick, 11 ratios/derived, 1 biological age) as at 2 September 2026. Add-ons on that page include Lp(a), active B12, folate, thyroid antibodies, genetics, heavy metals, AMH, semen analysis, and urine ACR. Hemexa's annual baseline is 76–80 signature markers, itemised and published, including ApoB, Lp(a), and urine ACR, plus an included six-month retest on 12 fast-moving markers.
- Can I import past blood tests from other labs in Australia?
- Hemexa lets you upload past pathology PDFs yourself after your first baseline panel, and the workflow is documented. Listen Health's own comparison table lists "Upload past results" as a feature, but the workflow, file types, and which other labs are supported are not described on its public pages.
- Does Hemexa track supplements, peptides, and over-the-counter medications?
- Yes. Hemexa members log what they take, including supplements, peptides, and over-the-counter medications. Each blood draw snapshots that stack so insights reflect what you were taking at collection, not only what you take today. Listen Health's public pages describe diet and lifestyle recommendations and advise pausing non-essential supplements before the draw. A member-logged stack, peptide tracking, or insights tied to what you actually take are not described.
- Can I add conditions, and do I get a timeline?
- Yes, on Hemexa. You can add and update the conditions you are living with, and those feed your health plan. You also get two timelines: past pathology PDFs after your first baseline, and a health-event timeline for dated things such as diagnoses, surgeries, and medication changes. Listen tracks lab results over time, lists "Upload past results", and uses a signup questionnaire. A member-managed conditions list and a health-event timeline are not described on its public pages.
- Can I import my DNA with Hemexa or Listen Health?
- Hemexa does not sell a DNA test. If you already have a 23andMe or AncestryDNA raw file, you can import it and Hemexa adds genetic context to markers such as Lp(a) and iron. Listen Health sells genetic add-on lab tests, including MTHFR DNA sequencing, as paid extras on /what-we-test. Importing a consumer DNA file is not described on its public pages. Confirm current add-on lists on their site.
