Apparently stores have them in the morning (Coles, Chemist warehouse etc) then sell out quickly. Woolworths online sell them to SA now as does Chemist Warehouse.
Son et al travelling from LHR to Melb to Adelaide next week so will be interesting to see what happens there. Arriving later at night on domestic flight.

I was asymptomatic and negative until I got a sore throat, officer.
Our State Government in SA is being pig headed. The other day before they were ‘allowed’ Marshall bragged they had millions. Then they announced the next they weren’t for Joe Public but for health workers. And will never be provided free.Those States that do not have retail availability of RAT tests need to put the heat on their State Governments.Nearly 2 weeks ago the ABC had an article about the bulk supplies of RAT tests held by the State and Commonwealth Governments. The Commonwealth supply is for Aged care facilities which should be the number 1 priority.
Another more recent article confirming this from the pharmac_ Guild.
Australia Has Stockpiles Of Rapid Tests Going Unused Amid Shortages Due To Incorrect Packaging
"We're in this funny situation where our stockpiles have a lot of stock, both at a state and a national level, but we aren't able to draw down on those in pharmacies or supermarkets to sell to consumers."
However those tests are all in bulk so not suitable to distribute to retail sellers.
However a pat on the back for the QLD government.They paid workers on the public holidays to repack 500000 tests so they could be distributed.
We don’t have socialised pharmacies. These are private companies and there’s nothing stopping them putting in orders directly with the manufacturers.Those States that do not have retail availability of RAT tests need to put the heat on their State Governments.Nearly 2 weeks ago the ABC had an article about the bulk supplies of RAT tests held by the State and Commonwealth Governments.

I sourced some a couple of weeks ago online here and they shipped quite quickly

I paid $30 for a twin pack (1 test each).
Thanks for the info but is unlikely that I will buy any. I was only looking for them yesterday as we had not received the test results back from the PCR we took in SYD on Boxing Day and was not sure what I had to comply with as a returning resident and the ever changing rules in SA. We are back now, received negative test results over the past day and a half, I found that interesting given we were all tested together at the same time, location, surname and yet results stretched out over 30 hours. The SA health check app did not require us to complete the daily checkin as we were in a low risk area. That been said I have just received a notification (within the past couple of hours) from Service NSW detailing that I was in the same location as a COVID-19 from a week ago. From our week in Kiama we have received these notifications for almost every place or shop we entered over the week, some within 18 hours and now up to 6 days. The whole checkin thing, getting tested etc. is IMO just a waste of time. Covid is here to stay, time for the pollies and the masses to live with it and get on with life.I sourced some a couple of weeks ago online here and they shipped quite quickly
