The requirements set by a country and an airline could be different. We strongly recommend that you check both requirements before booking your COVID-19 test at CBD Doctors Melbourne.

We suggest the COVID-19 RT-PCR test is done as close to the flight as possible. Our policies allow re-scheduling if you need it.

We are an independent medical clinic, and our COVID-19 testing is provided by well-trained health professionals.
