Anyone in Brisbane had experience getting a supervised RAT for a 2-year old? We are travelling to the US. We enquired at a Chemist Warehouse, but they said that they couldn't sign-off for a 2-year old as the tests are for 3+ only. But the US requires a test for anyone over 2...

Histopath at the Intl airport might do it?

Thanks; we're going to check with TerryWhite first but it makes sense that Histopath in the airport would cater for all ages. I see they do a PCR option so worst case we'll get that done instead of a RAT the day before departure.

Call their general info number and they should be able to tell you what to do, ,ay be able to go to one of theirs closer to home.

Histopath only have an Airport location in Brisbane unfortunately (in fact it looks like all their "community" branches are in NSW).
 
I am heading to China Feb 24 and I thought I would ask latest intel on most appropriate / quickest turnaround for PCR test within 48hrs dep and thought this thread - Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test? might just be the place to ask
A week or so ago we had to get tested because we had a transir in Singapore on our way to India. The Histopath that was available to us near Newcastle worked extremely well

No, none visible. Was supposedly 2% but on arrival a sign was worded more "could be done at their discretion". Note though that immigration was an absolute mess (we were in a very slow priority lane) and took an hour and a half- 4 workers but fingerprint machines not working, people with incomplete paperwork etc & heaps of paper to be checked, wasn't what I wanted at 6am-we arrived around 50 minutes early. Bags were on the floor off carousel by the time we arrived there
