Free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs)

The Shire is assisting the WA Country Health Service with the distribution of free RATs to community members who are considered close contacts of a person with COVID-19.

A person, who is a close contact with no symptoms, can collect five RATs at Australind and Harvey Administration Centres during opening hours.

Please make sure you wear a mask when visiting us and have recorded a negative daily RAT (as per current Health Department protocols for close contacts).

You can also collect free RATs at a range of vaccination and testing clinics (subject to availability). Please visit the WA Government's website for more information.

  • Non-Aboriginal and over 65;
  • Aboriginal and over 50; or
  • Pregnant.
