Australian Rickettsial
Reference Laboratory

We provide a diagnostic service for Australian medical practitioners, pathologists, and medical microbiologists. However, most of our tests are referred from other pathology providers.  Where medical practitioners would like us to perform specific tests, request slips must stipulate "Please forward to the ARRL for (insert diagnostic test requested) studies". 

 

Please send specimens either via your normal pathology provider or directly to the Australian Rickettsial Reference Laboratory at University Hospital Geelong, Ryrie St, Geelong Victoria.  In order for us to perform the tests on specimens, patients must agree to our terms and conditions.  Our laboratory welcomes feedback from both service providers and patients as part of our ongoing effort to provide a professional and proficient NATA accredited diagnostic service.
