What's included

Doctor consultation

A private conversation with an Australian-registered doctor who can assess your symptoms and recommend the appropriate blood tests for PCOS.

Pathology request

Your doctor can issue a request for tests such as hormone levels (including testosterone, LH, and FSH), blood glucose, insulin, and thyroid function, based on your symptoms.

If your results indicate a need for treatment, your doctor can issue an online prescription where clinically appropriate.

Follow-up support

Book a follow-up consultation to discuss your results and treatment options. Your doctor can also provide a specialist referral if further investigation is needed.

Frequently asked questions

What does a PCOS blood test check for?

A PCOS blood test typically measures hormone levels including testosterone, luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Your doctor may also request tests for blood glucose, insulin, cholesterol, and thyroid function. The specific tests depend on your symptoms and medical history, so your doctor will customise the pathology request for you.

How do I get a PCOS blood test online?

You can request a PCOS blood test through InstantScripts by booking a doctor consultation online. After discussing your symptoms and medical history, your doctor can issue a pathology request if they consider it clinically appropriate. You then take the request to your nearest pathology collection centre for the blood draw.

Do I need a referral for a PCOS blood test?

You don't need a specialist referral for a PCOS blood test. A general practitioner can order the relevant pathology for you. If your doctor determines that further investigation by an endocrinologist or gynaecologist is needed, they can provide a referral during or after your consultation.

Can I get a PCOS blood test near me?

Yes. Once your doctor issues a pathology request through InstantScripts, you can visit any pathology collection centre in Australia to have the blood drawn. Most suburban and metropolitan areas have multiple collection centres, and many accept walk-ins. Your request will be sent to you electronically, so you can go at a time that suits you.

How much does a PCOS blood test cost?

The cost of the consultation is listed on the InstantScripts pricing page. InstantScripts does not offer Medicare bulk-billed telehealth consultations, but pricing is competitive and often comparable to, or lower than, typical out-of-pocket costs at a Medicare-funded appointment. The blood test itself is generally covered by Medicare when ordered by a doctor.

Can a PCOS blood test help if I'm trying to get pregnant?

A PCOS blood test can help your doctor understand your hormone levels and whether you're ovulating regularly. This information is useful when planning for pregnancy. If your results suggest you may benefit from fertility support, your doctor can discuss treatment options or refer you to a specialist. InstantScripts also offers a dedicated women's fertility blood test for more detailed assessment.

What happens after I get my PCOS blood test results?

Once your results are available, you can book a follow-up consultation with an InstantScripts doctor to discuss them. Your doctor will explain what the results mean, whether further testing is needed, and what treatment options may be appropriate. If ongoing management is required, they can issue prescriptions for relevant treatments or refer you to a specialist.
