Infants and young children - blood tests

Most young children require special care during blood collection.

Melbourne Pathology has a number of collectors who are specifically skilled to perform this procedure. We also prefer to have two staff present for these collections. In order to ensure that suitable staffing is available when you attend with your child, please phone ahead to one of the clinical centres listed here.
Please note that not all of these centres have suitable staff at all times.
