Do you need to test before or after going on a trip? Or do you need a health check for a visa, immigration, work, or school-related services? Epicentre offers walk-in testing for everyone, meaning you don’t need to visit a general practitioner first.
Why Test?
Routine testing, even for individuals without testing, can help reduce the spread of viruses like COVID-19, making travel safer (Kiang, 2021). Many tourist, student, and work visas also require health assessments completed by registered healthcare professionals, and Epicentre can help with all of it (Department of Home Affairs).

Epicentre offers a variety of comprehensive testing packages, including:
• 🩺 General wellness: Take control of your health with a wide range of general wellness tests such as the ODX Ultimate Package, Menopause Package, the Men’s Annual Wellness Package, and the Traveling For Work Test Panel.

• ✈️ Travel-related testing: Whether you’ve been traveling or are planning a trip soon, Epicentre offers packages such as COVID-19 Travel Testing and an International Flight Testing Package for pre-flight PCR testing.
