International Pathology Day, held on the 6th of November, saw a focus on Pharmacogenomics (PGx). https://www.rcpa.edu.au/Events/PathologyDay/International-Pathology-Day-2024

The Sonic PGx panel is a genetic test that helps your doctor to personalise your medication according to your genetic variation. This has been shown to improve clinical outcomes by enhancing therapeutic efficacy and improving clinical safety.

Information on the Sonic Pharmacogenonics Panel can be found here, www.sonicgenetics.com.au/patient/test-information/pharmacogenomics/

The main purpose of this Manual is to provide useful guidelines for the selection of pathology tests and to facilitate interpretation of results.

We are now able to offer international travellers and students with private health coverage a better process whereby they will not be out-of-pocket for pathology testing.

In most cases, we will be able to bill the Health Fund directly, so no payment will be required at the time of collection. In the past, students were required to pay upfront and then reclaim from their insurer.

Health Funds that offer no out-of-pocket arrangements include:
Allianz World Care Students, BUPA, Medibank Private, AHM and NIB.
