Rapid Antigen Tests
A rapid antigen test (RAT) is a convenient, safe, and fast way to test for COVID 19 and recognised as an acceptable form of test. They will provide a result within 15 to 30 minutes and are available for purchase at supermarkets, pharmacies, and other suppliers.
- Western Australia – RAT kits are available for purchase from supermarkets, pharmacies, and other retailers.
- Victoria – Free RATs are available from local councils. You can collect 2 packs of 5 + an extra 2 packs for each person in the household and people with disability and carers can get 4 packs of 5.
- Queensland – if you have an eligible Commonwealth concession card or are part of an eligible group, you can access free RAT kits from Queensland Health RAT distribution points. Alternatively, they can be purchased in retail shops and pharmacies.
- At Home Care – At times of high caseloads or the unavailability of a RAT we have tests available, and you can speak to your Engagement Coordinator/Area Manager.
