The Commission developed the Guide to support health and aged care services undertaking point of care testing (PoCT) when pathologist oversight is not possible.
The Guide provides practical advice to support the safe, effective and consistent use of PoCT, including actions, reflective questions, suggested strategies, resources and case studies.
Review the draft Guide and share your feedback before the consultation closes on Friday 30 October 2026.
Your insights will help us to develop a robust and practical resource to support the safe implementation and use of PoCT across health and aged care settings.
