Having our own Tuggerah on-site pathology service ensures a fast turnaround on emergency and urgent care pathology test results, assisting our Central Coast team of Specialist Emergency Physicians to quickly make informed decisions about your medical condition and the best way to treat it.
All tests are combined with a consultation and the associated facility fee.
If you find that having blood taken can be difficult based on your anatomy, we can perform ultrasound-guided blood tests which minimise repeated attempts and discomfort.

Pathology Results
Urgent tests requested by our emergency and urgent care clinic team will be turned around as quickly as possible, with the results returned to you and your Specialist Emergency Physician usually on the same day.
In cases where you were seen by one of our Specialist Emergency Physicians and your pathology test results weren’t required before discharge from our EUC facility, we follow up on your results and contact you and your GP as needed.
Fees
All of our EUC pathology services associated with consultation are covered by medicare (provided you are eligible for Medicare), which means you will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses.
