How our doctors support menopause testing

Women request menopause blood tests for all sorts of reasons: perimenopause symptoms that don't quite add up, irregular cycles, hot flushes and night sweats, or a check before starting or adjusting HRT. During a quick telehealth consultation, an Australian-registered doctor talks through what you're noticing and, if appropriate, issues a request to check hormone levels including an FSH test. From there, you can use our online pathology requests to visit a local collection centre.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request a menopause blood test online?

Yes. You can request a consultation through InstantScripts, and if appropriate, the doctor will issue a pathology request you can take to your nearest collection centre. The whole process happens from home, with no need to sit in a waiting room. See how online pathology requests work for a full walkthrough.

What hormones get tested?

Most menopause panels measure FSH, LH, and oestradiol. Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may add thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), prolactin, or other markers. The aim is to build a clear picture of what's driving your symptoms, not just confirm menopause. Your doctor will explain which markers were chosen for you.

How much does it cost?

Consultation fees apply. Pathology costs depend on the lab and whether the tests are covered by Medicare. Check the current pricing page for the latest consultation fees, and ask the collection centre about any out-of-pocket pathology charges before your sample is taken.

Do I need my Medicare card or IHI?

You'll need a valid Medicare card or Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) for the request. The collection centre uses these details to process your sample and link results back to your record. Have them ready when you book your consultation.

How long do results take?

Most hormone results come back within two to five business days, though it can vary by lab and location. Your doctor will review the report and contact you to discuss what the numbers mean and what to do next.

Should I test if I'm in perimenopause?

Possibly. Perimenopause hormones swing widely, so a single test can be misleading. Testing is most useful when symptoms are unclear, when you're under 45, or when your doctor wants to rule out other conditions like thyroid disease. Have a chat with the doctor about whether testing will actually change your care.
