Rapid Response Team

Rapid Response Team

Since establishment

Commencing in January 2022, the NCCTRC established a Rapid Response Team (RRT), a small, rapidly deployable team comprised of nurses and allied health professionals’ primary role is to focus on community vaccination drives and testing in response to COVID-19 outbreaks.

Supported, trained and mentored by colleagues at the NCCTRC, the Rapid Response Team will support domestic COVID-19 community outreach and response efforts where requested and activated by the Commonwealth.
