Your discount
10% off
Blood tests, PCR tests and home kits. Gut health tests are not discounted.
Claim it at a branch, or on a home kit
The same 10% either way. Most people come in to a branch, but a home kit can save you the trip.
At a branch
Walk in to Observatory, Hillcrest or Parktown North. No appointment needed.
- Bring an ID that shows you’re 60 or over
- Choose your tests with our team, or bring a list from your doctor
- We take 10% off at the till, then you can pay by card, cash or Payflex
- Results are emailed to you: blood tests in 2 to 5 working days
With a home kit
Sexual health, HPV, UTI and BV kits, posted to you or collected from a branch.
- WhatsApp a photo of your ID to 072 843 7564 and we apply your 10% to the order
- Take your sample at home, in about five minutes
- We book the courier to collect it from you
- Free delivery and return within 10km of a branch, R300 anywhere else in South Africa
In Pretoria, Centurion or Midrand, a nurse can come to you for blood tests, R650 a visit. The 10% comes off the tests, not the call-out fee.
Who qualifies
Anyone aged 60 or over. That’s the only rule.
60 or over
Whether you’re retired or still working, and whatever your pension.
Bring your ID
Any ID that shows your date of birth. We only check your age.
Booking for a parent?
You can book or order for them. They just need to show their ID, or you send us a photo of it for a home kit.
Add Payflex
On tests over R1,200, we take off your 10% first, then Payflex splits the rest into four interest-free payments.

What people say
4.5 / 5 from 220 Google reviews across our three branches
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I’ve also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative.
