labnet is an alliance of District Health Board owned Laboratories who are working together to promote and enhance medical diagnostic laboratory testing in New Zealand.

The aim of labnet is to work together in order to benefit from a strong brand, common systems and economies of scale, which will improve, promote and protect the services which they provide.

Initially labnet was charged with trying to standardise as many processes as possible in order to keep down the cost of maintaining the laboratory information systems they ran. Over time this standardisation has been applied to areas outside of the LIS and the members now work together in determining methods, standardizing ranges and purchasing supplies.
