Fever, cough, fatigue or congestion?

Some winter illnesses can look like a common cold at first, but may develop into something more serious.

From influenza and RSV to COVID-19, pneumonia and whooping cough, knowing the signs can help you recognise when it may be time to seek medical advice.

Pathology testing can help support diagnosis and treatment decisions.

If symptoms worsen, persist, or breathing becomes difficult, seek medical advice.

Why do we need a new flu vaccine every year?

Because influenza viruses are constantly changing.

Have you had yours yet? In Australia, flu season usually peaks between June and September, making now a good time to get vaccinated ahead of winter.

During winter illness season, pathology testing can help identify illnesses such as influenza, COVID-19 and RSV.

Today is World Hypertension Day!

You can have hypertension (high blood pressure) and feel completely fine. However, left unmanaged, hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.

Hypertension remains the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide, yet many people are unaware they have it.

Regular health checks can help identify potential concerns early, while pathology testing can support the monitoring of overall cardiovascular health and related risk factors.

Cardiovascular disease remains one of Australia’s biggest health challenges, accounting for around one in four deaths nationwide.

Every 12 minutes, one Australian loses their life to cardiovascular disease.

Regular health checks and pathology testing can help monitor important risk factors like cholesterol, blood glucose and kidney function, supporting earlier intervention and better long-term heart health.

No symptoms? Sometimes it doesn’t matter.

We’ve heard from many Australians like Kerry, Bernice and Ben whose serious health conditions were detected through pathology testing before symptoms appeared.

Staying up to date with your health checks and recommended screenings can help detect illness earlier, when treatment can make the biggest difference.

When was the last time you visited your GP?

Many people living with thyroid conditions describe years of feeling exhausted, foggy or simply “not themselves” before getting answers.

For some, pathology testing helps uncover what may be causing symptoms and plays an important role in guiding diagnosis, treatment and ongoing monitoring.

If something doesn’t feel right, keep asking questions. Chat to your doctor about the tests that are right for you.
