MediTests is one of Australia's most popular private blood testing services: 200+ tests, no GP referral, 3,300+ collection centres, and results in 24 to 48 hours. If you are comparing alternatives, you probably want to know what happens beyond a single PDF report.
Hemexa is a different product: AU$1,199/year all-in, GP-reviewed requests, Laverty collection nationwide, 77+ signature markers on baseline, Included six-month retest on fast-moving markers, a health-system dashboard, a personalised plan after every panel, pathology imports from other labs, and supplement insights tied to your blood results.
Your annual baseline includes 77+ signature markers (77 for men, 81 for women), including 13 calculated insights from your lab results. Measured draws depend on sex (64–68). Fast-moving markers are tested again on your included six-month retest.
MediTests removed the GP referral barrier for private pathology in Australia. Order online, walk into a collection centre, and get a NATA-accredited report by email. Their 365 Health Check covers 65+ biomarkers for proactive Australians who want a comprehensive annual baseline.
Hemexa is for people who want more than a report: twice-yearly structured panels, health-system scores, trends, pathology imports, and supplement guidance that updates after each test. Not another checkout when you want a mid-year retest.
MediTests made private blood testing fast and accessible in Australia: no GP referral, instant pathology request forms, and 3,300+ collection centres. That is a genuine strength. But if you are comparing alternatives, you are probably asking what happens after you get your PDF report.
MediTests is transactional: order a test or panel, pay upfront, walk in, receive results by email. Their 365 Health Check covers 65+ biomarkers from around $499 per order. Hemexa bundles the equivalent into one $1,199/year membership instead of a per-order purchase.
MediTests delivers NATA-accredited pathology reports with reference ranges, often within 24 to 48 hours. Hemexa turns structured panels into health-system scores, trends, and a plan that updates after each test, so you are not manually comparing PDFs year on year.
MediTests encourages annual re-testing with the 365 Health Check, but each panel is a separate purchase. Hemexa includes a six-month retest in your membership, so mid-year course corrections do not mean starting a new checkout flow.
MediTests 365 Health Check is a strong annual panel, but each test is a separate purchase. Hemexa is AU$1,199/year all-in: annual baseline, six-month retest, dashboard, personalised plan, and supplement insights without ordering again mid-year.
Your membership includes a full annual baseline and an included six-month retest. 77+ signature markers on baseline per member, with a small number sex-specific (male or female hormones).
After your first Hemexa panel, upload results from other Australian pathology providers yourself and view them in one timeline. MediTests shows results from panels you order through them; older PDFs from other labs stay separate.
Log your stack and get platform insights connected to your marker results after each panel. MediTests focuses on ordering and delivering pathology reports, not ongoing supplement guidance tied to your biomarkers.
A side-by-side for Australians comparing MediTests with membership-style options. Look past single-panel pricing: retesting, dashboard depth, imports, supplement intelligence, and whether the product evolves with your blood over time.
