The RACGP has urged the Federal Government to continue providing free rapid antigen tests for low-income earners, arguing their access to testing is critical in combatting the current COVID-19 wave.
The government plans to scrap the program, which provides 10 free rapid antigen tests (RATs) every three months for concession card holders, at the end of July.
