Testing for COVID-19 remains an important way to help protect yourself and your loved ones. Knowing if your symptoms are COVID-19 can assist you and others to manage any associated illness appropriately.

You can access two types of tests available in Queensland:

• a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) which can be done at home or at some private pathology-operated locations
• a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test which is only done at private pathology-operated location.

Call Triple Zero (000) if you are very sick, including if you are experiencing breathlessness, chest pain, or severe light-headedness.

If you are a cleared case of COVID-19 (you’ve finished isolation within the past 28 days), you do not need to test for COVID-19.
