Residents in the Yarra Ranges and Knox City Council areas are eligible to pick up two free packs of RATs.
Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas today announced the initiative to help with the early detection and treatment of Covid-19.
“All Victorians can now pick up two free packets of rapid antigen tests to ensure they can enjoy their summer safely with their loved ones,” she said in a statement.
“There are simple things people can do to enjoy the summer safely – take a test if you have symptoms, stay home if you’re sick, wear a high-quality mask if you can’t physically distance, talk to your GP to see if you’re eligible for antivirals and stay up to date with your vaccinations.”
Individuals can collect up to two packets for themselves plus up to two packs for each member of their household per visit, while people with a disability or a carer can collect up to four packs.
The tests can be picked up from Dorevitch Pathology in Boronia and Ferntree Gully, and the EACH Lilydale GP Respiratory Clinic and Australian Clinical Labs Healesville.
