The table above lists every test in one place. If you would rather start from where you are, each stage below links to its hub, the tests inside it, and the article that explains what those tests cost in Australia and why.
Fertility
Ovarian reserve and cycle hormones. The AMH and fertility panel is $179 with your own doctor's request, or $259 with a KnowLuna doctor and a results consult. A single ovulation check is $59: a mid-luteal progesterone, collected about 7 days before your expected period, which is day 21 in a 28-day cycle and later in a longer one. See the fertility hub, or read how much an AMH test costs in Australia.
Cycles and hormones
The female hormone panel is $139, and the hormone and thyroid panel $189. Cycle mapping across a whole month is $379, which is a detailed option rather than a standard investigation, since no guideline recommends serial hormone mapping, so it suits a specific question you and a treating doctor have already framed. The vaginal microbiome test is $249. See the cycles and hormones hub, or read what a hormone test costs in Australia.
PCOS and metabolic
The PCOS panel is $169, or $249 with a doctor consult. It is a fasting, morning collection. See the PCOS hub, or read about PCOS diagnosis and the tests behind it.
Pregnancy
Preconception check $299, reproductive carrier screening (price on launch), NIPT (price on launch), pregnancy blood test $59 and the postpartum recovery check $199. The HbA1c in the postpartum check is a general metabolic check, not the follow-up after gestational diabetes: that follow-up is a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test at 6 to 12 weeks after birth, arranged through your GP, because HbA1c reads falsely low in the early months after birth. Thyroid symptoms that appear after three months are worth a repeat TSH. See the pregnancy hub, or read what NIPT costs in Australia and what carrier screening costs.
Perimenopause and menopause
The perimenopause and menopause panel is $199. For women whose doctor has already prescribed treatment, monitoring is $189 and the testosterone therapy check $179. These are general health markers your prescribing doctor may want while you are on treatment: your doctor decides which of them are relevant and how often, because dose is guided by how you feel rather than by a blood level, and oestradiol is mainly useful when absorption is in question. See the perimenopause hub, or read what menopause testing costs.
Postmenopause and beyond
The postmenopause health check is $219, covering bone chemistry, lipids, glucose, kidney and liver function, thyroid and iron in one fasting collection. Bone density itself is measured by a DXA scan rather than by blood: the bone chemistry screens for treatable causes of bone loss, and parathyroid hormone is most useful when calcium or vitamin D is out of range. See the postmenopause hub.
Symptom-led checks
Fatigue and energy check $179, female hair loss check $199, hormonal acne check $169 and the weight and metabolic check $199. Most women with acne have androgens in the normal range, so the acne check earns its place mainly when acne comes with irregular cycles or other signs of raised androgens, and a normal result does not rule out a hormonal contribution. The weight and metabolic check shows metabolic risk markers: insulin resistance itself has no single blood test, so the panel reads fasting glucose, HbA1c and lipids together, and one cortisol reading cannot rule cortisol excess in or out. See the symptom-led hub.
Partner tests
Semen analysis $89 and the male hormone panel $129. Both are test-only priced with an optional consult. See the partner hub, or read what a semen analysis costs in Australia.
Single tests and add-ons
Thyroid panel $89, iron studies with a full blood count $69, vitamin D $49 and a pharmacogenomic profile (price on launch). Single tests are test-only, a KnowLuna doctor requests them at no extra charge, and a 20-minute consult can be added (+$59). See the single tests hub.
Why self-pay tests are not Medicare rebated
Medicare rebates pathology when a treating doctor orders a specific test for a specific clinical reason, under the rules of the Medicare Benefits Schedule. That is a deliberate design: the rebate follows a clinical indication, not a request.
KnowLuna tests are requested at your initiative, because you have a question, rather than because a treating doctor has assessed you and identified a clinical indication. So we do not bill Medicare and there is no rebate. That is how self-pay pathology generally works in Australia, and it is why we say plainly that our tests are not Medicare-rebated.
Some markers are never rebated, even through a GP. AMH is the clearest example: it has no Medicare item number, so it is out of pocket whoever requests it, including a fertility specialist. Other markers, such as thyroid function and iron studies, are commonly rebated when your GP orders them for a clinical reason, and if that route suits you it is a good one. We set both out honestly on our comparison page.
What self-pay buys is control over the timing and the scope. You order when the question comes up, you get the whole panel rather than the markers that fit an item number, and the price is on the page before you commit. For a fuller explanation, read blood tests without a GP referral in Australia, or see how the ordering process works.
Every test can be collected the way that suits you. The collection fee, if any, is added to either price above. Home blood kits are listed ahead of our laboratory's finger-prick validation and switch on the day it completes.

I have a doctor's request
Your GP, obstetrician or specialist has already agreed you should have these tests, or is happy to sign our request form. You pay for the accredited test and our plain-English report. Results go to you and to your requesting doctor, who manages any follow-up.
Request forms are on each test pageUse a KnowLuna doctor
No GP visit. A KnowLuna doctor who works only in women's health reviews your questionnaire, requests the test, and talks you through the results in a 20-minute consult. Best if you want to start on your own terms or want an expert second opinion.
Join the waitlistA doctor behind every request
Yours, or ours. Every test is requested by an AHPRA-registered doctor and abnormal results are always followed up.
Accredited lab test
Routine pathology by a NATA/RCPA-accredited Australian laboratory; genomic tests by an accredited specialist laboratory, named before you order.
Plain-English results
In your secure account, with each marker explained in context.
Results consult (Option 2)
A 20-minute consult with a KnowLuna women's health doctor, or add one to Option 1 for $59.

General information only, not medical advice. A blood test is one input to a doctor's assessment, not a diagnosis on its own. If your symptoms are severe or sudden, see a doctor promptly. Read our medical disclaimer.
Why is there no Medicare rebate?
Medicare rebates pathology when a treating doctor orders it for a specific clinical indication under the Medicare Benefits Schedule. KnowLuna tests are requested at your initiative, because you have a question, rather than because a treating doctor has assessed you for a clinical indication, so we do not bill Medicare and there is no rebate. That is how self-pay pathology generally works in Australia.
Is the doctor consult optional?
Yes. Every panel can be ordered at the test-only price if you bring a request your own GP or specialist has signed, and you still get the plain-English report. The consult is included when a KnowLuna doctor requests the panel for you, and can be added to a single test or to an Option 1 order for $59 whenever you want it.
Are there any extra collection fees?
No. The price on the page covers the doctor's request where we issue it, the accredited laboratory test and your plain-English report. Collection at a centre in our network is included. Repeat or additional testing is quoted separately and always agreed with you first, and if a doctor decides a test is not right for you, you are refunded in full.
Can I claim on private health insurance?
No. Australian private health insurers do not cover out-of-hospital pathology, whether or not Medicare does. Some employer wellbeing programmes and salary-packaging arrangements reimburse health spending, so it is worth asking, and we provide an itemised receipt either way.
Can I get these tests through Medicare instead?
Often, yes. Common markers such as thyroid function, iron studies and a full blood count are usually bulk-billed when your GP orders them for a clinical reason. Some have eligibility restrictions (vitamin D, free T4 and free T3), some are never rebated at all (AMH, NIPT, expanded carrier screening, pharmacogenomics), and the three-gene reproductive carrier screen is rebated once per lifetime if your GP requests it while you are planning or in early pregnancy. We say so plainly on our comparison page. KnowLuna is for when you want to start on your own terms, want the plain-English report and tracking, or want a women's health doctor to read the results.
Will prices change at launch?
