COVID-19 INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL TESTING

Many countries still require travel testing. Please check the rules for the specific country/countries you are planning to travel to and the airline you are flying with. Countries may require either a PCR or RAT test.

Labtests requires that all pre-departure COVID-19 PCR travel tests must be taken by the traveller directly to Labtests, Specimen Services, 37-41 Carbine Rd, Mt Wellington. This option is available Monday - Saturday from 9:30am to 2pm and Sunday: 9:30am to 12pm.

The price for Covid-19 PCR swab test is $219 per person per test, including GST and for a RAT test it is $119 per person per test, including GST. This is due to travel tests not being funded by the Government. Please also note that all travellers are responsible to check with their own airline/travel adviser/embassy regarding timing and requirements of tests, as these can change frequently. Charges will apply for repeat tests.

- Please Note -

• We are just a collection agency - we have no control over the swab once it leaves Northcare.
• We cannot guarantee the tests will be back in time for your flight.
