The State Government is expanding access to rapid antigen tests and making them available for free to all Victorians for the remainder of the year, to help with early COVIDdetection and treatment ahead of Christmas and the New Year.

Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas says all Victorians will be eligible to pick up two free packets of RATs at any state testing site until 31 December, with no eligibility requirement.

RATs are the primary tool for early detection of COVID and a positive result enables access to antivirals for those who are eligible and will benefit most.
