Module 3: Testing
Last revised: 05 Jun 2023
COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are all notifiable diseases in Australia. You must understand the reporting requirements of your State/Territory for a positive test:
Australian Capital Territory New South Wales Northern Territory Queensland South Australia Tasmania Victoria Western Australia
Testing and reporting of positive cases vary for each notifiable disease; for example COVID-19 is usually reported following a positive polymerase chain reaction test (PCR) or rapid antigen test (RAT), while influenza and RSV surveillance data currently only include notifications of laboratory-confirmed cases (via PCR).
This section provides information on the types of tests that can be utilised for COVID-19, or suspected flu or RSV case.
