PathWest COVID drive-through testing facility now open in Murdoch

03/03/2022

WA’s first public community-based drive through COVID-19 collection centre is set to opened in March in Murdoch.

The facility is located within Murdoch University grounds along the western side of Murdoch Drive, with the entrance south of the facility via Farm Road, and exit via Discovery Way to the north.

The facility consists of three large, dual-lane marquees, a small site office, storage container and staff facilities.

The 9000m sq asphalt site is fenced, and security and traffic management personnel are in attendance.

Every effort is made to ensure minimal impact on traffic to the university and nearby hospitals. It is expected that when the facility is fully operational it will process four cars per marquee, 12 cars at one time, and testing per car will take approximately six minutes per car dependent on the number of passengers needing testing.

As is the case at all public COVID-19 testing clinics, the PathWest Murdoch drive-through clinic will be free.

With increased community transmission and the opening of our State’s borders, the need for testing facilities such as this one will grow. Drive-through clinics are a relatively simple way to provide large-scale testing with minimal interaction with other people.

The PathWest drive through COVID-19 collection centre at Murdoch is open every day, including weekends and public holidays, 8am-8pm.

COVID-19 testing for international travel is not done at this site, PathWest offers COVID-19 PCR testing for international travellers at selected collection centres listed here.
