Four more collection centres for COVID-19 testing to be established

  • ​Four new private COVID-19 collection centres to be established
  • New drive-through Clinipath centres will open in Busselton, South Bunbury, Osborne Park and Myaree
  • More than 35,000 Western Australians have so far tested negative for COVID-19
  • Four new private COVID-19 collection centres are set to open on Monday May 4, with new South-West sites to be established in Busselton and South Bunbury, and two new metropolitan sites for Myaree and Osborne Park.

    The McGowan Government is working with Clinipath to establish the four new drive-through clinics, which will complement the 11 other private testing sites announced earlier this month, further expanding Western Australia’s testing capabilities.

    Clinipath will run the test sites as drive-through clinics so people do not need to leave their vehicle.

    COVID-19 testing is also taking place at seven hospital sites across the metropolitan area and at the Bunbury Health Campus and Broome Hospital, as well as at emergency departments in regional and metropolitan WA.

    People who meet the testing criteria can visit their GP for referral to the private clinics, or get a referral through a GP telehealth consultation. They can also present at a COVID clinic for testing without a referral.

    There are more than 100 public hospitals, health services or remote area health clinics which can test patients in regional and remote areas.
