Western Diagnostic Drive Through Covid Test Clinic

Welcome to the Western Diagnostic Drive Through Covid Test Clinic located at Playle Street, Myaree, Australia. As part of a leading healthcare company, Western Diagnostic Pathology, we prioritize the safety and well-being of both the public and our staff, especially those who are vulnerable or unable to be vaccinated.

To ensure the safety of our patients, staff, and communities, we have implemented a mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy across our business, including Western Diagnostic Pathology. This policy is in addition to other safety measures such as the use of personal protective equipment and enhanced cleaning protocols.

At Western Diagnostic Pathology, we have set up drive-thru collection points and appointment-only respiratory collection centers throughout Perth. You can find the updated locations and opening times on our website.

During the testing process, a qualified practitioner will insert a swab into the back of your throat and through your nose. This procedure is quick and lasts less than a minute, although it may cause mild discomfort. The swab sample will then be taken to a laboratory for testing to determine the presence of the virus.

We have implemented appropriate physical distancing measures and infection control procedures to ensure a safe environment for all visitors.

If you are feeling unwell or displaying symptoms of COVID-19, we recommend staying home and seeking further information from the HealthyWA website or calling the coronavirus (COVID-19) information helpline.

Once your test is complete, you will receive an SMS within three business days notifying you of a negative result. In the case of a positive result, you will receive guidance on immediate actions to take and additional information from the Department of Health.

If you require COVID-19 testing for travel purposes, you can easily purchase the tests at consumer.healius.com.au. We will then email you a Pathology Request form that entitles you to COVID-19 testing for travel.

Please note that COVID-19 testing for travel is considered commercial pathology and is not reimbursable by Medicare. However, some health funds and travel insurance policies do cover the cost of testing. When purchasing from Healius, you will receive an invoice suitable for health fund and travel insurance claims.

For COVID-19 Real Time RT-PCR Test, you can visit our Respiratory Drive-through clinics without an appointment. However, if you require both the COVID-19 Real Time RT-PCR Test and IgM Antibody Test, you will need to make an appointment by calling 9317 0826.

Before visiting, please double-check our locations and opening hours as they may change from time to time.

Once your test is complete, we will send you a PDF of your negative test result via email. The attached PDF will be protected by an 8-digit password. If you have not received your result, please contact our Data Entry Supervisor at 9317 0999.

When planning your travel, we recommend following the guidelines provided by your destination country, airline, or cruise line. Testing too early may require purchasing and retesting. Our current turnaround time is approximately 24 hours, but this can vary depending on the distance between the COVID-19 Collection Center and the laboratory, local outbreaks, and demand.

At Western Diagnostic Drive Through Covid Test Clinic, we prioritize your safety and aim to provide efficient and reliable testing services.
