Free Rapid Antigen Tests for Western Australians

All WA households can now register to receive free Rapid Antigen Tests delivered to their home address. Each household is entitled to five individual tests.

One person per household can register for the free RATS online. People who cannot register online can contact 13 COVID (13 26843) for assistance placing their order.

You can choose to have your free RATs delivered to your home address, or you can nominate to pick them up from the Perth Airport collection point once you are advised your order is ready. If you live regionally, your free RATs will be delivered to your residential address.

Once you have filled out the registration form you will receive an email confirming your order. People should allow for up to 15 business days for delivery, with regional areas being prioritised initially.

Additional RATs are supplied to testing clinics and free RATs are also available at pharmacies for eligible concession card holders.
