How do I access my Laverty Pathology results online?

Laverty Pathology provides patient access through the Laverty MyResults portal at laverty.com.au. Register using your Medicare card details and a recent episode number from your collection slip. You can then view, download and share PDF copies of your results. Results are also uploaded to My Health Record if you have not opted out.

What is the Laverty MyResults patient portal?

Laverty MyResults is Laverty Pathology's online patient portal and mobile app. After registering with your Medicare details, you can view results, download PDF reports and receive notifications when new results are ready. The portal is available at laverty.com.au and as an app for iOS and Android.

Is Laverty Pathology part of Healius?

Yes. Laverty Pathology is part of the Healius group (formerly Primary Health Care). Other Healius brands include Dorevitch Pathology in Victoria and Western Diagnostic Pathology in Western Australia. While all share corporate infrastructure, each brand maintains its own report format and collection network.

What do the H and L flags on a Laverty report mean?

H means the result is above the upper limit of the reference range printed on that line, and L means it is below the lower limit. These are statistical flags, not diagnoses. Laverty uses RCPA-aligned reference intervals, which are the standard ranges adopted by most Australian pathology labs. Always discuss flagged results with your GP.

Why does my Laverty report show multiple date columns?

Laverty Pathology commonly formats reports with your most recent result alongside one or two previous results in adjacent columns, all on the same page. This multi-column format lets your GP track trends at a glance. Each column has the collection date at the top. Read left to right to see how values have changed over time.

How long do Laverty Pathology results take?

Routine Laverty panels — FBC, UEC, LFT, lipids, HbA1c, TFT, iron studies and CRP — are typically available within 24-48 hours of collection. Specialised tests such as autoimmune panels, vitamin profiles, coeliac antibodies and genetic tests take 5-10 working days. Urgent GP or hospital samples are prioritised and reported within hours.

Can SmarterBlood read Laverty Pathology PDFs?

Yes. SmarterBlood reads PDFs from Laverty Pathology and all other major Australian providers. Upload the PDF from Laverty MyResults, laverty.com.au, My Health Record or a copy emailed by your GP. SmarterBlood handles Laverty's multi-column date format, extracts every marker with its reference range, and provides plain-English explanations with trend tracking. SmarterBlood is independent and not affiliated with Laverty Pathology or Healius.

The Quick Answer

Laverty Pathology is New South Wales's largest pathology provider, with over 150 collection centres across NSW and the ACT. Laverty is part of the Healius group (formerly Primary Health Care). Most routine GP-referred tests are bulk billed under Medicare.

Patient access is available through Laverty MyResults at laverty.com.au and via My Health Record. A distinguishing feature of Laverty reports is the multi-column date format, showing the current result alongside one or two previous results on the same page. Routine results are typically ready within 24-48 hours.

How a Laverty Pathology Report Is Laid Out

Laverty reports are recognisable by the green leaf branding and the multi-column date format. Understanding each section helps you find the information that matters quickly.

Header

Laverty Pathology name and green leaf logo, laboratory address (typically Macquarie Park, NSW), NATA accreditation number and contact phone number.

Patient demographics

Full name, date of birth, sex, Medicare number, and episode (accession) number. Verify these match you — errors here can cause results to appear on the wrong file.

Requesting doctor and collection details

Referring GP or specialist name, provider number, collection date, reporting date and clinical information provided on the request form.

Multi-column results area

Laverty commonly shows the current result alongside one or two previous results in date-labelled columns. Each row is one marker with value, unit, reference range and H/L flag.

Pathologist narrative

Below each panel, a short comment from the reporting pathologist may explain borderline values, note a trend, or recommend follow-up testing.

Footer

Pathologist signature and qualification, NATA accreditation statement, page count, and repeated patient identifiers on every page.

Multi-column format tip: When Laverty shows several date columns side by side, the most recent result is usually the rightmost column. Read left to right to see how a marker has changed over time — particularly useful for HbA1c, eGFR, ferritin and cholesterol trends.

Common Abbreviations on Laverty Reports

Laverty uses standard Australian pathology abbreviations. These are the most common codes you will encounter on a routine GP-ordered blood panel.

FBC / FBE

Full Blood Count / Full Blood Examination

Red cells, white cells, platelets, haemoglobin, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW and white cell differential

UEC / U&E

Urea, Electrolytes and Creatinine

Sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, urea, creatinine and eGFR

LFT

Liver Function Tests

Bilirubin, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, albumin and total protein

eGFR

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate

Kidney filtration capacity, calculated from creatinine, age and sex

HbA1c

Glycated Haemoglobin

Average blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months; diabetes monitoring and diagnosis

TFT / TSH

Thyroid Function Tests

TSH primarily; free T4 and free T3 reflexively added if TSH is outside range

CRP

C-Reactive Protein

Inflammation marker in mg/L; elevated in infection, autoimmune disease and tissue injury

INR

International Normalised Ratio

Blood clotting time; critical for patients on warfarin or other anticoagulants

Understanding Laverty Pathology Result Flags

Laverty uses RCPA-aligned reference intervals — the standard ranges adopted across Australian pathology. Flags are statistical signals, not diagnoses. Always interpret them alongside your symptoms, history and the rest of the report with your GP.

H

Result is above the upper limit of the reference range printed on that row. Common on cholesterol, liver enzymes, glucose, PSA and inflammatory markers.

L

Result is below the lower limit of the reference range. Frequently seen with ferritin, haemoglobin, sodium, vitamin D and folate.

* or bold text

Critical or action-level result requiring urgent clinical attention. Laverty phones the requesting GP or hospital ward directly for genuinely critical values.

AB

Abnormal — used on immunology and specialist panels where a directional H/L flag is not applicable.

Previous result column (comparison)

The prior visit result printed alongside the current one. If the previous value was flagged and the current one is not, the trend is reassuring — but always confirm with your GP.

Pathologist comment text

A written comment from the reporting pathologist below the panel. May include interpretive remarks, suggest further testing or highlight a clinically significant trend.

About 5% of healthy adults will have at least one flagged result on a large panel purely by statistical chance. A single flag rarely means serious illness — the clinical significance depends on your full picture, which only your GP can assess.

How to Read Your Laverty Pathology Report — Step by Step

Confirm your demographics

Check name, date of birth and Medicare number at the top of the report. Always verify your identifiers match exactly, especially if you collected at a walk-in centre.

Note the collection date

Laverty reports show the collection date and reporting date. The collection date tells you when the blood was drawn; the reporting date is when the pathologist signed it off.

Understand the multi-column format

Laverty commonly prints up to three date columns side by side. The most recent result is usually in the rightmost column. Read across to see trends in HbA1c, eGFR or ferritin over time.

Read each result row

Each row shows marker name, your result, the unit (mmol/L, g/L, etc.), and the reference range for your age and sex. The H or L flag on the right is your first attention signal.

Check the reference range carefully

Laverty uses RCPA-aligned reference intervals. Ranges are age-specific and sex-specific for haemoglobin, ferritin, eGFR, hormones and several other markers. The correct range for you is printed on the report.

Read pathologist comments

Below each panel, look for italic or boxed text from the reporting pathologist. These comments carry specific clinical context that the numbers alone cannot convey.

Act on critical flags immediately

An asterisk or bold critical flag means Laverty has already contacted your GP. If you see this on your own copy, phone your GP that day to confirm they have received and acted on the result.

Track trends across visits

A single Laverty result is a snapshot. Upload multiple PDF reports to SmarterBlood to chart each marker over time — particularly valuable for chronic disease monitoring such as diabetes, kidney function or iron-deficiency anaemia.

Red Flags — Results That Need Urgent Attention

Most Laverty results can wait for your next scheduled GP appointment. The following findings warrant a same-day phone call to your doctor:

Asterisk or bold critical flag on any result

Laverty has already phoned your GP. Contact the practice that same day to confirm the result has been reviewed and a plan is in place.

Haemoglobin below 80 g/L

Severe anaemia requiring urgent investigation. The cause may include active bleeding, nutritional deficiency or a bone marrow problem.

Potassium below 3.0 or above 6.0 mmol/L

Extreme potassium imbalance can cause dangerous heart rhythm disturbances. Same-day medical review is warranted.

INR above 4.0 in a patient on warfarin

Very high bleeding risk. Contact your GP or anticoagulation clinic immediately to adjust the dose.

eGFR below 30 mL/min

Severely reduced kidney function. Ensure a follow-up nephrology or GP appointment is booked promptly.

Pathologist comment recommending urgent specialist referral

Always act on written pathologist recommendations. Phone your GP that day if they have not already contacted you.
