Allergy Testing Melbourne
Our medical clinic provides expert evaluation and best practice allergy testing performed by doctors who are hospital based Specialist Allergists & Immunologists.
Allergy Testing Melbourne: Specific tests may be needed to determine substances causing an allergy. Avid Allergy provides allergy skin testing and blood tests. Skin testing is one of the most convenient and accurate methods of allergy testing. We use commercial allergen extracts and fresh food skin prick testing. The results are available within 20 minutes and your doctor will discuss the significance of the results during the clinic appointment.
Blood tests to detect Specific IgE "allergy antibodies" are performed when skin testing cannot be performed using industry standard ImmunoCap (RAST) testing. All our testing is recognised by Medicare for rebates.

Immunisations and vaccinations are a cornerstone for prevention of many infectious diseases, and an important part of the management of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Similarly certain members of the community may be recommended different vaccine schedules or doses based on their unique underlying medical conditions.
We are very happy to discuss patients’ specific vaccination requirements, including recommending and facillitating alternate schedules and boosters optimised to their condition.
Along with successfully priming your immune system, there are a range of common side-effects to be expected as part of the vaccination process. We are keen to discuss and manage previous vaccine-associated symptoms to re-assure patients so as they can safely participate in vaccines & immunisations recommend to protect them, their families, and the wider community.
For patients requesting formal vaccine exemptions - these are best managed through the Victorian Specialist Immunisation Service (VicSIS)
