About
QML Pathology runs a collection centre on Murwillumbah Street, where trained collectors take blood and other specimens that your doctor or specialist has referred you for. It's not a clinic for consultations — you bring a pathology request form from your GP, the sample is collected here, and the results go back to your referring doctor. The centre is part of QML Pathology (a Healius business), one of the larger pathology networks operating across the region.
Alongside routine blood collection, the Murwillumbah Street centre offers walk-in COVID-19 testing, glucose tolerance testing, paediatric collections for children aged 0–12, respiratory and drug analysis, and genetic screening such as NIPT. The site has wheelchair access, on-site parking and toilet facilities, making it a practical option for the whole family.
