COVID-19
Western Australia (WA) case data is now available every Friday via the statement on the Department of Health website.
This is a friendly October reminder that if your community service organisation is running low on Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) and/or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), you may be eligible for free stock.
This initiative is part of the State Government’s commitment to support community service organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Visit the Department of Communities’ COVID-19 PPE and RAT Request Form
to make a request.
To find out more about your organisation’s eligibility, please access the Frequently Asked Questions attached.
Free RATs are also available for eligible people with disability and disability support workers. These can be ordered in bulk by eligible organisations. Additional RATs are now also available for the household members of people with disability.
Please visit the RATs for the Disability Services Sector for more information and to lodge an online request.
For RATs and PPE/C delivery and eligibility questions, please contact the Department’s COVID-19 Management - Incident Team (COMIT) logistics lead via:
