All interstate and international travellers will be given two Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) on arrival at Perth Airport that they can self-administer at home, as required under WA’s hard border settings.
COVID marshals will distribute the tests for approved travellers at airports, who are required to undertake the tests on day 1 and day 7 of their quarantine period.
Interstate and international travellers will still be eligible for a PCR test on day 1 at testing clinics, if capacity is available.
The RAT is a quick test to check for COVID-19 and provides a result within 15 to 30 minutes. All kits have a QR code which links to a video that demonstrates how to take a test.
Travellers who self-administered a RAT for COVID-19 at home and have tested positive must register their RAT result online with the Department of Health.
The mandatory registration requires information to be logged including:
- date and time of the test;
- personal details about your situation; and
- phone number to be contacted on.
People who do not have access to the online registration system must still report their positive test result and can do so by contacting 13 COVID (13 26843).
