If you have questions about the program or how to claim a free RAT, please get in touch with our customer service team on (03) 5153 9500

If you have symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, please do not collect RATs. If you can’t get to a location, a guardian or carer can collect your free RATs for you.
