Can nutritionists order blood tests?

Nutritionists can’t request Medicare-funded pathology themselves. With Vively, you choose the testing and a GP issues the Medicare referral after a short telehealth consult, confirming the final tests subject to their clinical review. A client with a Medicare card gets the 70+ marker Baseline for a $99 Vively fee. Private tests, at-home kits and CGM are available too. Read the full guide

Better care

The full picture

70+ markers with lab and optimal ranges and trends, so your advice starts from your client’s own results.

How it works

From your referral to results in four steps

  1. 1

    Choose the tests

    The Baseline, a hormone or nutrient panel, single markers or your saved panel.

  2. 2

    Your client pays

    For the Medicare Baseline, they book a 5–10 minute telehealth call with an independent GP.

  3. 3

    One blood draw

    At one of 4,000+ collection centres (about 3,700 for the Medicare Baseline), with fasting and timing instructions.

  4. 4

    Results return

    Structured results in the client record, with lab and optimal ranges.

Your client stays your client

We run the testing. You lead the care.

Every Vively referral starts with your recommendation and comes back to you. We don’t offer your client our own practitioners, and on the Medicare pathway the GP’s job is the pathology request. Diet and lifestyle advice stays with you.

Your name on every email

Your client’s invitation carries your recommendation, your name, your practice name and your logo.

Your client agrees to share with you

At checkout your client consents to share their results with you. It’s the first thing they agree to.

You decide when results are released

Release as results arrive, or review them first. The results email invites your client to book with you.

We never market to your clients

Clients you refer get no Vively marketing emails or texts, and no Vively plans, dietitian offers or upgrade prompts in the app. Their tests skip Vively’s AI report and supplement suggestions.

Questions, answered

Questions from nutritionists

Can nutritionists order blood tests through Vively?

Yes. You choose the testing and send the referral. For the Medicare Baseline, a GP issues the Medicare referral after a short telehealth consult, confirming the final tests subject to their clinical review. Private tests are ordered through our pathology partner.

Which blood tests do nutritionists use most?

The Baseline for a full starting picture: blood count, iron, vitamin D, glucose and insulin, lipids, thyroid and inflammation. Common follow-ups are iron studies, micronutrients, fasting insulin and the Omega-3 Index.

Will the GP take over my client’s care?

No. The GP’s role is the pathology request and medical follow-up of results they request. Diet, lifestyle and the care plan stay with you.

What will my client pay?

The Baseline is a $99 Vively fee with Medicare, or $299 private. Full pricing for other tests is available to verified practitioners, and your client sees the price before paying.

Can I choose the markers?

Yes. The Baseline is a set panel of 70+ markers, and the GP confirms the final tests as part of the Medicare referral. Add private markers or a panel to the same referral, or build your own panel, and your client still does one blood draw.

Is there a cost to join?

No. Vively is free for practitioners with no subscription. Request access and we’ll verify your details first.
