Most people can now use a rapid antigen test result to confirm they are positive for COVID-19. More information can be found on the getting tested for COVID-19 fact sheet.
In view of this, most people presenting to the District’s COVID Assessment Clinics will be offered rapid screening with a RAT. People with a positive RAT result should regard themselves as a confirmed case and follow the advice for people testing positive for COVID-19.
**Please note, RAT kits are not available at any of our Emergency Departments for general personal use.
There are testing locations across NSW. To find your nearest clinic visit www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/how-to-protect-yourself-and-others/clinics or contact your GP.
GPs can request home testing for vulnerable older people, people with moderate to severe disability and other health related issues which prevent attendance at clinics, by calling the Access and Referral Centre on 1300 792 755.
You can get tested for COVID-19 at the following locations in our Local Health District.
NOTE: due to the changing nature of testing times and availability, links to private clinic operators are listed. Please check the opening times listed on their websites before attending a testing clinic.
