The people who need them right now, who are either symptomatic or are a designated close contact, can go to a state clinic.

With respect to those who want to purchase them through the pharmacy, some pharmacies will be making them available as part of this initial program, which then gets expanded.

As you know, there’s great demand for these rapid antigen tests right around the country and here in Australia we’ve got more than 200m on offer. The federal government has provided more than 6m through the aged care sector. We’re providing more than 10m through the states to be used in their clinics. In Victoria, just over 7m have arrived in the last two weeks alone. There’s more supply coming online.
