Free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) are now available for community members to collect at Yarra Ranges Council community links.

Community links in the Dandenong Ranges are located at the Monbulk Living and Learning Centre and on Upwey’s Main Street.

There are also community links in Healesville, Lilydale and Yarra Junction.

The state government has now made RATs available to all community members at council offices throughout Victoria.

Those who have symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has Covid-19 are advised to not collect RATs until they are well. If you can’t get to a location, a guardian or carer can collect your free RATs for you.

Any community member is entitled to pick up free RATs from the council, pending availability.

For more information about getting tested and reporting a positive RAT result, visit the Department of Health website

The Monbulk Living and Learning Centre is located at 21 Main Road in Monbulk, with the Upwey Community Link at 40 Main Street in Upwey.
