Follow-up of Results
If you are required to have pathology or other tests taken, you will need to phone the clinic to obtain your results – please do not assume that no contact from KI Medical Clinic following a test or investigation means a normal result. For most standard tests, the results will be available within 48 hours; please contact the clinic on 08 8553 2037 and ask to speak to the results desk to obtain your results.
Recall System
You will be automatically enrolled in our recall/reminder system, which means you may receive reminders by post, telephone call or sms. Please advise us if you would prefer not to be contacted regarding preventative health reminders.
