Most imaging needs a booking — call the clinic first. Bring your referral either way.
Any accredited lab accepts your referral — just email support@nextclinic.com.au to tell us where you went, so we can get your results back. Some labs also upload to My Health Record automatically; confirm with them on the day.
The moment a lab sends results, we upload them to your NextClinic portal — you see them as soon as we do.
The doctor who referred you reviews everything that comes back — not just the flagged ones.
If something's worth talking through, your doctor recommends a follow-up consult.
You'll know when results arrive, and if a follow-up is recommended — no news isn't left as silence.
Most routine pathology is back within 1–3 business days — specialised tests and imaging can take longer. If it's been a while, email us and we'll chase the lab for you. But know that turnaround is set by the lab, not by us.
