No. However, if results are found to be grossly abnormal you may be contacted for authorisation to have results forwarded to your Medical Practitioner.
As per The Public Health Regulation 2005 (Schedule 1), pathology laboratories are required to notify the Queensland Notifiable Conditions Register for each condition that is currently notifiable under the Queensland Public Health Act 2005 and Public Health Regulation 2005. The list of notifiable conditions is available from www.health.qld.gov.au.
Disclaimer: It is important to note that Pathology tests are usually requested by a patient’s doctor as they are medically qualified and trained to interpret and/or analyse the results after a full assessment of the clinical signs and symptoms a person may be experiencing. Some panels of testing are quite complex. There may be the possibility of misinterpretation of pathology results in the absence of advice from the appropriately trained and qualified Medical Practitioner. Patients using self-requested testing will need to consult their local Medical Practitioner if they require interpretive advice. QML Pathology does not provide any interpretive services for results of self-requested tests.
