All residents with cold or flu-like symptoms, even if they are mild, are encouraged to follow Victorian Government advice and get tested for COVID-19.
This will proactively help to protect you and vulnerable members in our community.
Testing is available for those with fever, sore throat, shortness of breath, a runny nose and more symptoms. Once tested, you will need to self-isolate at home until you receive your test results.
The test is free and takes a couple of minutes. Please bring along some identification, for example your Medicare card or drivers licence.
Where can I get tested?
Both walk up and drive through pop-up testing sites are available. The best way to find the most up-to-date information on local testing sites is by visiting the Department of Health and Human Services website.
You can also visit your local GP however, please give the clinic a call prior to arriving there.
For more information about support and services available during this time, please visit our Coronavirus information hub.
