What to consider when purchasing COVID-19 rapid antigen tests
Consumers should be aware when purchasing COVID-19 rapid antigen self-tests (for home use) that only tests that are approved by the TGA should be sold by retailers and other outlets.
Tests that are intended for use by trained laboratory staff or health care professionals should not be repackaged and marketed as self-tests.
Each pack you purchase should include the test device, additional chemical regents, a copy of the instructions on how to use the tests, and information on how to access the online instructional video. The TGA has published a consumer fact sheet that explains what COVID-19 home use tests are, how they can be used at home, and what to do when you get your result.
