There's been a lot of talk about AussieScripts recently and no one really knew what the panel consisted of as the site is lacking detailed infomation.
It's a $35 $45 TRT blood panel https://aussiescripts.com.au/patient/pathology/consultation/trt-monitoring-blood-test

I'm pleased to say that they test everything RoidSafe tests and more.

On top of the RoidSafe tests they also test for:

Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Urea, Magnesium, C Reactive Protein (High Sens), Glucose Random, Prolactin (Total)

(I must add that I'd like to see someone elses results for Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate and Urea. The reason for this is that I've recieved this information before from my RoidSafe referal, I spoke with RoidSafe about it when it was missing and they say sometimes the pathology lab send it over essentially by accident or due to different process in busy periods).

The actual request script from AussieScripts requests in addition: Magnesium, C Reactive Protein (High Sens), Glucose Random, Prolactin (Total).

Pathology required from AussieScripts:

[ Symptomatic Male Hypogonadism Assessment RX: Free and Total Testosterone, E2 (Oestradiol), SHBG, Liver Function (LFT), Kidney Function (UEC), Magnesium, Cholesterol Panel (Chol/Triglycerides/HDL/LDL), Glucose, High Sensitivity CRP, Full Blood Count, FSH, LH, Prolactin ]

Pathology required from RoidSafe:
FSH; LH; Free & Total Testosterone; E2 (Estrodiol); Cholesterol Triglycerides; HDL & LDL Cholesterol; Hb; Hct; PCV;
Creatinine; LFT

Process:
I completed the online form for AussieScripts, paid, then received the referral about 15 minutes later. The referral is PBS so nothing to pay and can use any pathology lab. I tested at 0945 on Monday (missed the 0930 pickup so got the after lunch pickup), recieved the results 1530 the next day.

I did get a message with my emailed results:
The Doctor's message:
We have received your test results and they do require a follow-up consultation. Please book a consultation via https://aussiescripts.com.au/patient/telehealth/consultation/follow-up to discuss these results further with the doctor.


Had a few things in red so guess he wanted to talk through them. Not going to follow up.

Will update post if Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate and Urea isn't always included.

Another point which may be useful for your decision is that AussieScripts only send you the orginal letter headed pathology results which only shows the current test results. Where as RoidSafe show previous results.
 
Just to update this, had my second test with AussieScripts, received exactly the same results again. So as well as Prolactin also got Sodium,
Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Urea

Only difference this time was I got a call from the Dr before reciving the script just asking for more infomation on my TRT. Specifically length I've been on, current dosing and if I was symptomatic.

Can also confirm no previous results shown.
 
I was meaning on responding much. A few months back I got my referral with Roidsafe just based on the fact all my results would be on the same document as it was previously.

When I got my results back they were on a document on there lonesome without my previous results which pissed me off as it was the only reason I used Roidsafe. I sent them an email expressing my disappointment and asking when this charge occurred and why it was not communicated. No reply!

For my next blood work I will be using Aussie Scripts. I’m sure chat got can help me compile on my results in one document/table.

Hey

Can you go in to some more detail on what you mean your results were a document on their lonesome?

Happy to raise this issue directly with them just need some more understanding of what your issue is

Did you you the portal in chat function as this is directly monitored by their nurse who reviewed your blood results

Hi,

Thanks for showing an interest. Previously when I received my results back from Roidsafe I would get my current results and beside those would be all my previous results so I would have 4-5 results all together.

Where as my recent test results came back with only my current results with no previous results showing. I do believe the reporting app changed so this may be why?

I contacted them via the contact form on the website which I have used previously and have gotten responses.

I’m interested to know what you find out.

Quick one did you use a different pathology lab to previously?
 
Something to consider for you, I created a Google sheet with conditional formatting and just upload my results to that, I get to see all my results from all time and ranges etc on one sheet.
