Same thing is happening in Victoria. A friend had a test recently just because he could and was told if he got a text he was fine. If he got a phone call, they would tell him what to do next - either could be that he was positive or I guess the test could have been inconclusive One person on radio yesterday got a call and was told the lab had screwed up and she needed to take another test.
