JAN 7: Changes to local COVID-19 Testing Clinics
In order to improve current turn-around-times for COVID-19 test results, Southern IML Pathology has made the decision to temporarily close its drive-through COVID-19 Testing Clinics in the Illawarra for the next two days.
The following testing clinics will be CLOSED on Friday 7 January and Saturday 8 January:

Local COVID Testing Clinic opening hours continue to change frequently and we encourage everyone to check our website before attending a clinic.
Testing capacity in NSW is currently under enormous pressure. We remind the community that the only people getting a PCR (nose and throat swab) should be those who have COVID-19 symptoms; live in a household with a confirmed COVID-19-positive case; or have otherwise been advised by NSW Health to get tested.
