Function Health isn't available in Australia. It is a US membership that costs US$365 a year and tests 160+ lab markers a year through Quest labs in 48 US states. It has not announced plans to launch here.
If you want something similar in Australia, you have four main options: Vively (an Australian health membership: a 70+ marker blood test for $99 to start, then a practitioner, a personal plan and a targeted re-test), Everlab (plans from $299 to $2,700 that add scans and doctor consults), i-screen (single tests from $39 with no membership) or your own GP (Medicare-funded tests when they are clinically needed).
Function Health is a US company based in Austin, Texas. On 12 October 2026, its membership started at US$365 a year (more in New York and New Jersey). Members get 100+ lab tests at an annual visit and 60+ more mid-year, drawn at one of 2,000+ Quest labs. Clinicians review the results and flag anything that needs attention. Function also sells MRI scans through Ezra, which it bought in 2025, from US$899 for members.
No. You need to give blood at a Quest lab in one of the 48 US states Function covers, and the service is not offered outside the US. Its 2026 funding announcements did not mention international expansion.
Prices and details were checked on each provider's website on 12 October 2026, and Everlab's again on 14 October 2026.

| Blood markers | 70+ in the Baseline, plus add-on panels | About 65 in the full blood panel; plans advertise 100+ or 130+ with scans | 1 to 155 per test or panel | What your GP orders for your symptoms or risk |
| Help with results | A practitioner talks you through your results 1:1 after every Baseline, builds your plan (diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations) and checks in between tests | Doctor consults, action plan | Consults cost extra | A follow-up appointment |
| Retesting | Targeted re-test after 3 months | Key markers in the Protocol Plan | Whenever you order | When your GP recommends it |
| Scans | None (optional CGM) | DEXA in plans; MRI and CT extra | None | Referred when needed |

Vively is an Australian health membership, $99 a month, built around what you do with your results. It starts with the Baseline Health Check, a blood test covering 70+ markers, read against optimal ranges as well as the lab's normal range. A practitioner talks you through your results 1:1 after every Baseline, builds a plan with you and checks in between tests, and a targeted re-test after 3 months shows whether your changes are working. When your results point to something worth a closer look, your practitioner adds the right next tests to your plan, from hormone, nutrient and stress panels to an at-home omega-3 kit and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that shows how your glucose responds to food, exercise, sleep and stress. Add-on tests are priced individually, there's no minimum term, and Vively doesn't offer scans.
The closest Australian match if you want scans. Plans run from a Health Baseline (from $299, with a doctor consult and a review of your records) to a $900 Diagnostics Plan (100+ biomarkers, DEXA and a 45-minute doctor review) and a $2,700 Protocol Plan. A standalone Advanced Blood Test is $499. MRI and CT scans are extra. See Vively vs Everlab for a full comparison.
Pay per test, with no membership and no Medicare rebate. The Essential Health Test is $140 for 38 tests, and results typically arrive within 48 hours. Covering the core markers in Vively's Baseline takes five tests and costs about $376. A consult to discuss them costs extra. See Vively vs i-screen.
Your GP can order blood tests that Medicare funds when they are clinically needed, such as for symptoms or a known risk. You may not get the wider panel or optimal ranges, but a GP is the right place to start if you feel unwell. Some tests, such as Lp(a), are not Medicare-funded even with a GP request.
More markers can catch more, but a long list of results is only useful if someone helps you decide what to do next. Large panels also include markers that move day to day or need context. When you compare services, check three things: which blood markers are included, who explains your results, and how often you retest to see whether your changes worked.
Wondering whether you can skip the GP visit? Read how a blood test without a referral works in Australia.
No. Function Health only operates in the United States, using Quest labs in 48 states. It has not announced an Australian launch.
On 12 October 2026, Function Health memberships started at US$365 a year, with higher prices in New York and New Jersey. That covers 160+ lab tests a year across two visits.
It depends on what you want from it. For regular blood testing with help acting on your results, Vively is the closest fit. For a once-a-year assessment that includes scans and long doctor consults, Everlab is closer. For single tests with no membership, i-screen.
Partly. Medicare covers pathology when a doctor requests it for a clinical reason. For your Vively Baseline, a GP from our network requests the tests after a short telehealth consult, and Medicare covers those lab tests. Your $99 membership pays for the analysis, your report, the app and your practitioner, and isn't rebated. Everlab builds Medicare-covered items into its price. Tests you choose purely out of interest are usually private.
