Community RAT program

Free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) are now available for high-risk community members, at three locations.

Free RATs are being distributed by Moorabool Shire Council to those aged 70 years or older, Concession Card holders, and people with a disability, the immunocompromised, or their carers.

Free RATs can be collected at the Lerderderg Library, Darley Civic & Community Hub at 182 Halletts Way, or at the Council Office at 15 Stead Street, Ballan.

Make sure you bring your concession, Seniors, or disability card to show to staff, or let them know you are 70 years older or immunocompromised.

Twenty tests (four kits) can be provided each visit for people with a disability and carers collecting tests on their behalf, while five tests (one kit) are available for people 70 years or older, immunocompromised people, and people with concession cards.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, don’t go to a Council location to collect free RATs. Instead, collect them from a testing site, which you can find through the State Government’s COVID-19 website at www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/get-a-covid-19-test.
