A number of precautionary measures have been put in place to maintain our safe and measured approach to COVID-19. From Saturday 8 January: - Non-urgent elective surgery will be paused until February 2022 - Positive rapid antigen test results must be reported

How do you do a Rapid Antigen Test on a child? Here you go! (Quick vid due to time) Wash hands, blow nose. Kid’s head on arm/pillow. Swab hand resting on chin or cheek in case sudden moves. GO LOW, GO SLOW. Gentle twirl 1-2cm for 10-15 seconds. Do other side. Take care!

We're asking anyone who tests positive using a Rapid Antigen Test to register their result with Service NSW. Today we've launched a feature on the Service NSW app to make this as simple as possible.

Taking a saliva rapid antigen test? Do not eat, drink or brush your teeth for at least 30 minutes before putting the swab in your mouth. Food and drink can impact the accuracy of the result. Take a test first thing in the morning, before you eat, drink or brush your teeth.
