The WA Department of Health will not reissue a RAT confirmation text message or issue the RAT registration confirmation text message in any other format. Do not delete this text message as it cannot be re-sent later. Keep evidence of your positive test result in case you need to show your employer, such as a dated photograph of your positive RAT or the text message you receive from the WA Department of Health after registering your positive RAT result. If you registered your RAT result and did not receive a text message, no further action is required by you. There may be a delay of up to 48 hours between registering your RAT and receiving a text message from the WA Department of Health. You do not need to contact the WA Department of Health if you are unable to complete the online form or have registered your RAT incorrectly. If the RAT registration link does not work, try registering again later. If you make a mistake, re-register your RAT with the correct details. If you need help to register a positive RAT result, you can ask a friend or family member to complete the online form with you or register the RAT result on your behalf. RAT registration is no longer mandatory but is strongly encouraged because the more people who register their positive RATs, the more accurately the WA Department of Health can assess COVID-19 case numbers. If you test positive using a RAT, it is recommended that you register your result with WA Department of Health (external site). If your RAT result is positive, follow guidance for confirmed cases, including to stay home for at least 5 days and until symptoms have resolved. If you test negative using a RAT, monitor for COVID-like symptoms and test again if symptoms develop or persist. Parents or guardians should check the suitability of the specific RAT for children and perform or supervise the test. Two types of RATs (saliva test and nasal swabs) are approved for use in Australia (external site) by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).Īll RAT kits include guidance on their recommended use.
