ACOSS: real equity concerns re availability of free rapid antigen tests for concession card holders

ACOSS has real equity concerns regarding the availability of free rapid antigen tests for concession card holders from today

ACOSS CEO, Dr Cassandra Goldie will be available today for interviews to discuss equity concerns regarding the availability of free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests for concession card holders.

From today, these should be made available to people on low incomes, but many pharmacists are already raising the alarm about lack of supply. ACOSS is concerned that people on the lowest incomes may not be able to get rapid tests from pharmacies because of the supply issues.
