Community members who class as pensioners or hold a concession card said they will take advantage of the free tests seeing as COVID has not gone away.
"I will be getting the free tests, I want to make sure I don't catch it and it's still out and about," community member Robert Martin said.
The free tests will be available for pick up at any Service NSW centre, or at any of the 200 neighbourhood and community centres located across the State.
Eligible patrons include:
- Pensioner Concession card
- Commonwealth Seniors Health Care card
- Health Care Card (including Low Income Health Care card)
- Department of Veterans' Affairs Gold, White or Orange cards.
The free RAT tests will be on offer until October 2022.
