Confusion about Covid testing

D Wolpert’s letter about the cost of Covid tests refers.

I also plan a trip to Oz with tickets sent from a relative there, so I knew little about the Covid rules apart from Australia not requiring a negative test. So this test that our wonderful government asks for is shocking news.

So the test is carried out in Australia? But why pay R1 600?

All websites I have been on aren’t updated to indicate that Australia do not require a Covid test. Uncle Doug
