The core insight

You track everything else.

Your watch knows your steps. Your app knows your sleep. Your plan knows your pace. None of them can see what's happening in your blood.

SIGNAL measures the part the wearables can't.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Where can I get collected?

At any participating collection centre, no appointment needed: bring your request form and photo ID. Locations are at expresspathology.com.au/pages/locations. Home or workplace collection is available in selected areas and arranged by phone after payment.

Can someone come to my home?

In selected areas, yes: a qualified collector from Express Pathology comes to your home or workplace at a time you choose. We call you after payment to arrange it and refund the visit fee if we can't reach your address.

Can I retest?

Yes. Retesting is how SIGNAL becomes most useful: each new result is compared with your last, marker by marker. You can book a one-off retest any time, or choose Automatic Retesting after your first test.

Can I cancel Automatic Retesting?

Yes, at any time by emailing us, with no fees. Automatic Retesting uses recurring billing: you're charged the discounted price for each test at the start of each interval, and it continues until you cancel. We email you before every charge.

Is my information private?

Your results are held in a separate clinical system, not on this website. We never share your results, your add-on choices or your quiz answers with advertising platforms. Our privacy policy explains what we collect and why.

What's included in the price?

The SIGNAL Test price covers the test and the laboratory analysis, review, and your explained results. Any add-ons and collection details are shown clearly before you pay.

Stop guessing. Know your numbers.
