Instructions For Repeat LDN Patients
*Please Read Carefully Before Proceeding*
The pathology forms attached below are specifically for use with Australian Clinical Labs, and cannot be uploaded to any other pathology-testing providers. If you download these forms and present them to another third party pathology-testing provider, it is highly likely that you will pay a significantly higher rate for your blood test results.
​
Why has The Functional Doctors partnered with Australian Clinical Labs (ACL)?
-
TFD has partnered with ACL as they are the largest pathology testing network in Australia
-
Whilst TFD is not involved directly in testing (ACL own all blood testing) we have negotiated significantly improved rates for our patients compared to RRP.
​
What should I do if I cannot access Clinical Labs for any reason, or if I need to provide blood results from a different source?
-
If you are in a rural area and there are no Clinical Labs near you, please contact us for a different form & instructions. You can reach us at support@thefunctionaldoctors.com.au or call us on 1800 370 690.
