PCR test results
Where did you get tested?
If we performed your PCR test there are two convenient ways to get your result.
1. The Results Portal
NSW Health Pathology Results Portal
Our Results Portal lets you securely access your COVID-19 test result.
Negative results can be downloaded in a report to share with authorised third parties like your employer or school.
Positive reports can be downloaded as a smartcard to your mobile phone.
If you’ve also been tested for influenza and other respiratory viruses results for these will also be available.
2. SMS
Send an SMS with the words my result to the mobile number listed on the flyer you received when you were tested and follow the prompts.
When your result is ready, you will get an SMS with a link to the Results Portal where you can obtain your result.
Read our step-by-step guide to obtaining your result:
What if my result is positive?
