Don't know if this has been mentioned, but just heard on the radio (medical/nurse spokesperson) that nurses don't have priority access to RAT tests (i.e. they, don't have priority for a public test nor do they get any to take home). They can only be tested if they come into work. So if you are a nurse with someone at home who has tested positive, you have to go into work (after your 40 minute commute or whatever), get a test at your place of work & if you are positive you get sent home. That means your place of work is down a staff member for the shift. That's a disgrace. They should be provided with RAT for home use.
Ballarat Health have issued small batches of RATs to some nursing staff (not aware if all at this stage), and they are required to test themselves at home before commencement of each shift. Did the person on the radio mention any specific hospitals/settings?
Edit: this only came into effect late last week btw, and there is no indication of what supply they have to continue this practice, initial hand-out was 5 RATs.
