You MUST now report Positive RATs or face a $1000 fine

From 12 January, you must report a positive rapid antigen test result. "This health order has been signed off this morning," Premier Dominic Perrottet told reporters on Wednesday. If someone fails to register a positive RAT there will be a $1,000 fine, which will be enforced from 19 January, he said. While all positive RATs since 1 January can now be reported, the mandate only applies to positive tests from Wednesday. Mr Perrottet said the reporting process would "only take a couple of minutes". All states and territories aside from the ACT and Western Australia have now provided a way for residents to register their results from RATs.

You can register a positive test result for yourself, another adult or a child. Each result needs to be reported separately.

You should register your positive test result as soon as possible by visiting the Service NSW app or website. DO NOT VISIT A SERVICE CENTRE. A rapid antigen test is a quick way to check if you have COVID-19. You do the test yourself and it shows you the result on a device that comes with the test.

You must register a positive rapid antigen test result as soon as possible after you get your result. You are able to add a positive result dating back to 1 January 2022.
