OZ Pathology Information

Oz Pathology is the only histopathology service located in Darwin. We perform tests in our own on-site laboratory, unlike other companies who are required to transport samples to larger centres. Our service saves time and provides our customers with better and quicker results. What do you mean Darwin's own histopathology? We provide all services for a histopathology laboratory onsite in Darwin. This includes all the testing and our own local histopathologist Dr Ravi Mathew. All our staff members reside in Darwin and support the community. Do you bulk bill all patients from the GP? Yes. We bulk bill all eligible patients that come from the GP in and around Darwin. To ensure that your submission is bulk billed, please provide a relevant Medicare number for our services. What if I don't have Medicare? If you don't have Medicare then you will receive an invoice from us for the same amount Medicare would have paid us. For all payment queries, please contact us on 08 8986 7136. Why should we use Oz Pathology over the other providers? Oz Pathology is a Darwin-based pathology service that supports local business. Not only do we have an exceptionally qualified and experienced team, but we are also committed to creating a superior service with our range of tests and fast turnaround. Our pathologist is always happy to help via phone or face-to-face in our laboratory. We are here for you. I would like to send my samples to Oz Pathology but the clinic I attended has a different preferred provider. What can I do? As a patient, you can request that your sample is sent to whichever pathology service you choose. It doesn't matter if the doctor does not have our forms or has not previously received sample results from our company. Oz Pathology accepts all forms. New medical clinics using our services will be phoned by one of our laboratory assistants to ensure the treating doctor is able to access their patient's results. I am a medical professional and would like to use your pathology services, how do I start? That is great news, it's as simple as calling 08 8986 7136. Simply tell us which clinic you are from and we will set you up.
