FREE COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests for Concession Card Holders

Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT) can be used to confirm whether you have COVID-19.

In early January 2022, the Federal Government announced that concession card holders will be able to access up to 10 free RAT kits over the course of three months, at a maximum of five in a single month.

The eligible concession cards include:

• Pension Concession Card
• Commonwealth Seniors Healthcare Card
• DVA Gold, White or Orange Card
• Health Care Card
• Low Income Card

Though there is currently a limited supply of RAT kits available, eligible concession card holders can collect their free RAT kits from pharmacies.
