The Australian Federal Police has launched an investigation into rapid antigen test (RAT) price gouging and has warned that individuals and businesses selling COVID-19 tests for more than 20 percent of the original retail purchase rate will face five years’ imprisonment or a $66,000 fine.

AFP Assistant Commissioner Crime Command Nigel Ryan said there would be zero tolerance for those who were profiting from RATs at the expense of the Australian public.
