‘Find a RAT’ helping Australians find a rapid antigen test

A new website launched earlier this week is helping Australians find elusive rapid antigen tests as demand surges after a rise in COVID cases.

The website ‘Find a RAT’ launched on Monday and acts as a testing kit locater, with Canberrans encouraged to help each other by adding a report if a store near them has RATs in stock.

The site currently has over 30 locations listed across Canberra and Queanbeyan where rapid antigen tests are sold.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of those outlets in the Canberra region – and Australia wide – are currently out of stock.

Make sure to check the ‘Find a RAT’ website for updates on the availability of the test kits or to log a report of stock.

Here are the locations in Canberra that have at one stage reported sightings of RATs on the website:
