Frequently asked questions
Please read through the following FAQs to see if they answer your query.

How do I get a copy of my lab results?
- WSCL recommends patients obtain their results from their referrer (doctor) who can explain what the results mean in a clinical context.
- To request a copy of your results directly from the laboratory, we recommend you mention this at the time of your test. If you are wanting results from past tests, please visit any WSCL collection centre (bring photo ID) and complete a ‘request for results’ form.
Can I request a test myself?
Yes you can. To check which tests are available as a self-referral and their costs, please visit mytests.sclabs.co.nz. If you are wanting a test that is not on this list, you will need a referral from a NZ medical practitioner.
What are your collection centre’s opening hours?
Opening hours for all of our collection centres can be found on our website here.
How can I request extra testing for my patient?
• Please phone the laboratory to add on tests – 04 381 5900
• For e-ordering click here to view add on /amend information form (please note you must be the main requestor)
What do I do if I’ve received results in error?
If you have received results in error, please email the details (or a copy of the results) to: contact@wellingtonscl.co.nz.
Note: Please ensure the results are from WSCL as we are often sent miss-directed results from other laboratories.
