The state government will provide free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) to eligible people with disability in Wyndham and across the state to help support the most vulnerable of our community to be protected.
Two million RATs will be made available to all NDIS participants and disability support pensioners over the next three months.
From Saturday, April 9, RATs will be available at current testing sites and through Disability Liaisons Officers.
Those who are eligible (disability support pensioner and NDIS participants aged over 16) can collect up to 20 RATs per visit to a testing centre.
Evidence of eligibility, such as a NDIS statement, will be required.
Premier Daniel Andrews said: “This virus doesn’t discriminate, but its effects are felt more harshly by the most vulnerable among us – including Victorians living with disability.”
“We’re providing millions of free Rapid Antigen Tests to those who need it most, helping keep Victorians with disability safe as we head into winter.”
