Local COVID Testing Clinic opening hours continue to change frequently and we encourage everyone to check our website before attending a clinic: https://www.islhd.health.nsw.gov.au/services-clinics/public-health-unit/infectious-diseases/covid-19-latest-advice-and-resources-6

Testing capacity in NSW is currently under enormous pressure. We remind the community that the only people getting a PCR (nose and throat swab) should be those who have COVID-19 symptoms; live in a household with a confirmed COVID-19-positive case; or have otherwise been advised by NSW Health to get tested.
