Below is an additional helpful site with an Australian wide list of (COVID-19) testing locations. Noting that:
- Some COVID-19 testing clinics will require you to have a referral from a medical professional or to make a booking in advance.
- Many clinics will require you to wear a face mask when visiting and to notify staff that you require coronavirus testing on arrival.
- Testing will usually be free for Medicare cardholders, but always check first.
- Some pathology clinics will only conduct testing for low-risk patients and will refer higher-risk patients to hospitals.
