Health authorities urge government to extend free RAT scheme for vulnerable Australians:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-12/government-urged-not-to-end-free-rat-scheme/101232642

Doctors and pharmacists are urging the federal government not to end a scheme providing free rapid antigen tests to vulnerable groups as Australians are warned to brace for rising COVID cases through winter.

The Federal Health Minister Mark Butler on Tuesday confirmed the program, which was introduced by the Morrison government in January, would not be extended beyond July arguing it is "about the right time" for it to end.
