Free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) for Victorians with disability – extended to 30 September, 2022

The free rapid antigen tests program for eligible Victorians with disability has been extended to 30 September 2022.

It’s a time to ensure everyone with disability has access to enough rapid antigen tests.

Early detection of COVID-19 helps protect people from serious illness by ensuring earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Until 30 September, Victorian NDIS participants, disability support pensioners or people with disability who receive a TAC benefit can access up to 20 free rapid antigen tests by visiting their local state-run testing site. Carers can also pick up tests on behalf of someone with disability.

Only state-run testing sites are providing free rapid antigen tests to people with disability. To find your local site that has rapid antigen tests, visit: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/get-pcr-test-covid-19

If you are unable to attend a site, contact a Disability Liaison Officer for assistance. For more information, visit: www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/vaccination-information-people-disability#you-can-get-help-from-a-disability-liaison-officer
