Allergy Test
Are you living with an allergy?
Allergens trigger immune cells to release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals that result in an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergy are varied and can include itching, burning and swelling around the mouth, swelling of face or eyes, runny nose, skin rash, hives, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, breathing difficulties, vomiting and nausea.
This Allergy Check uses RAST panels to measure specific IgE antibodies in your blood. IgE is normally found in very small amounts in the blood, and functions as part of the body's immune system. Elevated IgE levels can indicate a tendency to be hyperallergic, often associated with conditions like eczema, hay fever, or allergic asthma. This extensive allergy screen includes the 7 RAST panels listed below.

What's included
Elevated IgE levels can indicate a tendency to be hyperallergic - this is often characterised by conditions such as eczema, hay fever, or allergic asthma.
This panel screens for common food allergens that are often introduced early in life and can trigger significant reactions in both children and adults.
Shellfish and fish allergies are among the most common and potentially severe—this panel helps identify sensitivities to popular seafood items.
Nut allergies can cause serious anaphylactic reactions; this test helps pinpoint which specific tree nuts or peanuts may be the culprit.
A key trigger for year-round allergic symptoms, this panel detects sensitivity to common indoor allergens like dust mites and cockroach particles.
This panel targets pollens from grasses and weeds prevalent in Australia, often responsible for hay fever and seasonal allergies.
For those with pet-related symptoms, this test identifies allergic responses to dander from common domestic and farm animals.
Mould spores are invisible triggers in damp environments—this panel helps detect allergies that may worsen asthma or respiratory conditions.
