West Australian households will be sent more free Rapid Antigen Test kits as the State prepares for an expected peak in COVID-19 cases as soon as this week.
- If you have already registered as part of the first phase of the program, the 10 extra tests will automatically be delivered to the address you nominated.
- If you have not yet registered, you can register now for 15 free RATs.
- You cannot collect these extra tests from collection points.
This will bring the total number of tests supplied to each of 650,000 registered households since the program began in February to 15.
“By providing free RATs to all Western Australians, we are able to ensure everyone is prepared for the wave of Omicron and best placed to stay safe and limit unnecessary spread of the virus,” Premier Mark McGowan said on Tuesday.
“The reporting of positive RATs is starting to outweigh the reporting of positive PCR tests and the provision of these free RATs will ensure people have them on hand as they need them - for ease and convenience.”
