Reviewed: 16 August 2026DUTCH Complete Hormone Test Australia: what it measures, what it costs and how to order.
The DUTCH Complete Hormone Test is a dried urine test of sex hormones, adrenal hormones and their metabolites, cortisol rhythm and melatonin. Wellbeing George arranges the genuine Precision Analytical test through RN Labs, its Australian distributor: $520 for the test only, or $680 with practitioner interpretation, ordered online and collected at home anywhere in Australia.
What is the DUTCH Complete Hormone Test and why would someone choose it?
DUTCH Complete is best thought of as a more detailed hormone pattern test. It does not replace medical hormone testing or GP care, but it can add context around sex hormones, adrenal hormones, cortisol rhythm and hormone metabolites when read alongside symptoms, cycle history, sleep, stress, medications, supplements and other pathology.
Samples are collected across the day to provide a broader hormone and rhythm picture than a single snapshot.
RN Labs quotes 3 to 4 weeks from the day your sample arrives, plus up to a week for it to travel by post.
New, severe or concerning symptoms should be assessed by your GP or specialist first.
The report is most useful when reviewed in context rather than read as isolated hormone numbers.

Who usually orders a DUTCH Complete test?
DUTCH Complete may be considered when someone wants more hormone context than a single blood or saliva result provides. It can be useful when symptoms, cycle patterns, sleep, stress and standard pathology do not give enough context on their own.
- People wanting a detailed view of sex hormones, adrenal hormones and hormone metabolites.
- Those exploring cycle changes, PMS-like patterns, perimenopause transition, low resilience or stress-related patterns with practitioner support.
- Clients wanting cortisol rhythm context across the day rather than one isolated cortisol result.
- People who prefer a practitioner to help decide which results matter and what to do next.
Hormone questions often need more than one isolated number.
Standard pathology can be useful, but hormone patterns are often influenced by timing, rhythm, metabolism, medications, cycle stage, sleep and stress. DUTCH Complete brings several hormone-related patterns together so the conversation can move beyond one isolated marker.
- Instead of one snapshot: dried urine samples collected across the day can provide rhythm context.
- Instead of only parent hormones: metabolites may help explain how hormones are being processed.
- Instead of a generic hormone plan: recommendations can be prioritised based on your symptoms and broader health picture.
How Wellbeing George helps you use the information.
Understanding hormone patterns, not just hormone levels
DUTCH Complete results are reviewed alongside symptoms, cycle history, sleep, stress, medications, supplements, diet and relevant pathology. This helps avoid overreacting to one marker in isolation.
Choosing between DUTCH, bloodwork and other tests
DUTCH Complete can be helpful for detailed hormone pattern assessment, but bloodwork, NutriSTAT or a consultation first may be more appropriate depending on the main concern.
Turning a detailed report into practical priorities
The goal is not to act on every marker. The goal is to identify the patterns that make sense for you and build practical nutrition, lifestyle and supplement guidance where appropriate.
The testing methods she used were comprehensive and clearly explained, which gave me confidence in the process and helped me understand what was actually going on in my body.
What does the DUTCH Complete test measure?
The report covers the six areas listed here. Its value comes from reading them together and deciding what deserves attention first, rather than from any one number.
Sex hormones: oestrogens, progesterone and androgens, including testosterone, DHEA and DHT.
Hormone metabolites: how oestrogens, androgens and cortisol are broken down, which adds context to how hormones are being processed.
Adrenal hormones: markers that may help guide discussion around stress physiology and resilience.
Cortisol rhythm: daily cortisol pattern context rather than one isolated reading.
Melatonin marker: sleep-wake rhythm context that should be interpreted carefully and not in isolation.
Nutritional organic acids and neurotransmitter metabolites: additional markers that may support broader nutrition interpretation.
DUTCH Complete, blood hormone testing or NutriSTAT?
These options answer different questions. Choosing the right one depends on whether you need medical baseline pathology, detailed hormone pattern context, or a broader nutrient and metabolic profile.
Medical screening, baseline pathology, specific hormone questions and GP or specialist review.
It may not provide the same hormone metabolite or cortisol rhythm context as DUTCH Complete.
A detailed dried urine view of sex hormones, adrenal hormones, metabolites, cortisol rhythm and melatonin context.
It does not replace medical assessment, and it may be more detailed than needed for a simple hormone question.
A broader blood and urine profile across nutrient status, metabolic health, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and organic acids.
It is not as focused on detailed reproductive and adrenal hormone metabolites as DUTCH Complete.
Is this the genuine DUTCH test? Yes, and it is worth checking wherever you buy.
DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. It is a proprietary test developed by Precision Analytical in the United States. Wellbeing George arranges the genuine Precision Analytical DUTCH Complete through RN Labs, its Australian distributor, with your kit shipped to your home and your report reviewed by a practitioner if you choose interpretation.
In Australia, the word DUTCH is sometimes used more broadly to describe dried urine hormone panels in general. Those panels can be useful, but they are not necessarily the same proprietary DUTCH Complete report, marker set or laboratory pathway.
If you are comparing options, four things are worth checking before you decide:
- The laboratory: which lab processes the sample, and whether the report is the Precision Analytical DUTCH Complete report.
- The marker set: whether the panel covers hormone metabolites and cortisol rhythm, or a smaller selection.
- The pathway: how the kit is arranged, where the sample is sent, and who receives the results.
- Interpretation: whether practitioner review of the report is included or available.
When DUTCH Complete may be worth considering, and when it may not be the first step.
A good testing pathway is not about ordering the most detailed test first. It is about choosing the test that answers the right question.
- May be worth considering: you want a detailed hormone pattern report with practitioner interpretation.
- May be worth considering: you want cortisol rhythm and hormone metabolite context rather than one isolated result.
- May not be first choice: you have new, severe or concerning symptoms that need medical assessment first.
- May not be first choice: you only need one hormone marker checked or monitored medically.
- May not be first choice: cortisol rhythm is your only question. A saliva cortisol profile may be simpler, and how cortisol testing works in Australia compares both options.
- Good middle step: start with a free 15-minute call or consultation if you are unsure whether DUTCH, bloodwork or another test makes more sense.

Where DUTCH Complete fits inside functional testing.
DUTCH Complete is a detailed hormone pattern test. It may be useful on its own, but it can also be compared with bloodwork, NutriSTAT or other functional testing depending on the main question.
Not sure whether DUTCH Complete is the right test for you?
A quick conversation can help you decide whether DUTCH Complete, bloodwork, NutriSTAT, another functional test or a consultation makes sense. You do not need to have it all worked out first.
Georgina and the team at Wellbeing George are amazing to deal with and very professional. I was unsure as to what to expect as the testing protocol seems quite new, but after the 15min free consult I was totally convinced that it was exactly what I needed to try.
DUTCH Complete Hormone Test FAQs
What is the DUTCH Complete Hormone Test?
The DUTCH Complete Hormone Test is a dried urine hormone test used to assess sex hormones, adrenal hormones, hormone metabolites, cortisol rhythm, melatonin, nutritional organic acids and neurotransmitter metabolites.
Is DUTCH Complete the same as a standard blood hormone test?
No. Standard bloodwork is often used for medical screening, diagnosis and monitoring. DUTCH Complete provides a different functional view of hormone patterns, metabolites and daily cortisol rhythm.
Who may benefit from DUTCH Complete testing?
It may suit people wanting more context around hormone patterns, cycle changes, stress-related patterns, cortisol rhythm, sleep-wake rhythm and hormone metabolism with practitioner interpretation.
Do I need a GP referral for DUTCH Complete testing?
You do not need to organise a GP referral before ordering through Wellbeing George. Medical symptoms, abnormal results or medication-related hormone questions should still be discussed with your GP or specialist.
Does DUTCH Complete diagnose hormone conditions?
No. DUTCH Complete through Wellbeing George is used for nutrition and wellness support. It is not designed to diagnose, treat or cure hormone conditions.
How much does the DUTCH test cost in Australia?
Through Wellbeing George, DUTCH Complete costs $520 for the test on its own, or $680 including practitioner interpretation of your results. The price includes the RN Labs collection kit shipped to your home anywhere in Australia.
How do I know I am ordering the genuine DUTCH test?
Ask which laboratory runs the test and whose report you receive. Wellbeing George arranges DUTCH Complete through RN Labs, the Australian distributor for Precision Analytical, and your report is the Precision Analytical DUTCH Complete report. Some dried urine panels sold in Australia use the DUTCH name loosely, with a different laboratory and report, which is why the four checks above are worth running on any option, including ours.
Is the DUTCH test covered by Medicare?
No. DUTCH Complete is a functional test ordered privately, so there is no Medicare rebate. Standard hormone bloodwork ordered by your GP is a separate pathway and may be covered, which is one reason medical questions are best raised with your GP first.
How long do DUTCH Complete results take?
RN Labs quotes 3 to 4 weeks from the day your sample arrives at the lab, and posting it can take up to a week. RN Labs closes over Christmas, from mid-December to mid-January, so avoid collecting and posting samples in that window.
Can I do the DUTCH test if I live in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth?
Yes. DUTCH Complete is ordered online and collected at home, so there is no clinic to visit. The kit ships to any Australian address, and practitioner interpretation is held online.
Should I order DUTCH Complete or book a consultation first?
If you already know you want the test, you can order DUTCH Complete directly. If you are unsure, a free 15-minute call or initial consultation can help decide whether DUTCH Complete, bloodwork, NutriSTAT or another option makes more sense.
Hormone testing should be interpreted carefully.
Wellbeing George provides nutrition, lifestyle and functional testing support. DUTCH Complete testing is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Results should be interpreted alongside your symptoms, health history, cycle stage, medications, current supplements and other relevant pathology.
