COVID-19 Testing (same day COVID-19 PCR results)

  • COVID-19 PCR CBD Doctors Melbourne

CBD Doctors Melbourne offers COVID-19 testing for people travelling overseas.

If you are travelling to European countries, UK, Middle East, US, or Asia, you will need a COVID-19 PCR test. Even though different countries have different requirements, the majority of airlines would require a negative PCR test before travelling. We continue to have direct communication with the different embassies to ensure that the certificates provided meet their requirements

The epidemiological situation changes rapidly, and flights are delayed, rescheduled and sometimes cancelled. Timing of the test of 72 h before travel may be too long in these circumstances. At CBD Doctors Melbourne we suggest that the Covid-19 PCR test is done as close to the flight as possible. Our policies allow re-scheduling if you need it.

However we do provide results in 2-3 hours.

Tests are conducted daily at 10am and 3pm during the week, and at 10am on weekends.

Interstate travellers from Sydney, Perth, Darwin and Brisbane, can have the same test for emergencies, otherwise, their swabs are sent to the laboratory.

We are able to provide tests for businesses, contractors and travellers to the snow.
