What's the difference between the Diagnostic & Protocol programs?

At Everlab, we offer two program options tailored to your health needs: the Protocol Program or the Diagnostic Program. Both are designed to give you deep insight into your health and empower long-term, preventative action—but they differ in scope, support, and ongoing care.

Diagnostic Program – $900 + $299 deposit

This is our core program, ideal for those looking to understand their baseline health. It includes:

• Comprehensive bloodwork
• DEXA body composition scan
• 45-minute Diagnostics Review consult

These advanced tests give you a high-resolution view of your current health status and risk profile. It’s the foundation of our preventative approach.

Protocol Program – $2,700 + $299 deposit

The Protocol Program includes everything in the Diagnostic Program plus a deeper, more personalised experience, with enhanced assessments, clinical support, and follow-up. It's designed for individuals with more complex needs or who want a more proactive, long-term health plan. It Includes:

• 90-minute Physical Assessment with an Everlab personal trainer or sport physiotherapist
  (includes VO2 max, strength, stability, and endurance testing)
• Nutrition Review
  (diet tracking and a 45-minute consult with an Everlab nutritionist)
• Re-testing of key biomarkers, diagnostics, and physical assessment
• Doctor Review Appointments
  (30-minute follow up Diagnostic review and a 20-minute end-of-year summary)

Summary:

The Diagnostic Program offers a solid foundation of testing and insight. The Protocol Program takes it further—adding in-depth physical and nutritional assessments, repeat testing, and longitudinal clinical care to support long-term, evidence-based action.

Still unsure which is right for you? Your Everlab doctor will recommend the best fit based on your risk profile and health goals.

Which program is right for me?

Your Everlab doctor will recommend a program based on your risk profile, health goals, and personal circumstances. In general, the Diagnostic program is ideal if you want a thorough baseline health assessment, while the Protocol program is best if you want ongoing support, physical performance testing, nutrition guidance, and progress tracking.

Does Medicare apply to my membership? Yes. Your membership price already includes Medicare rebates for eligible tests and consultations. Everlab handles this on your behalf — there's nothing you need to do. This is already reflected in your membership pricing, so the amount you pay is your final out-of-pocket cost.
