The testing centre in Kambah will continue to distribute rapid antigen test kits to eligible people. However, people have been urged to be respectful towards staff members.
"Sadly we've had reports of people who have been acting aggressively towards our team when they haven't met the criteria for testing," ACT Health said posted on social media.
"The team are here to help you so please be kind and respectful towards them. Aggression will not be tolerated".
The Kambah centre will supply one RAT kit per person instead of the original two per person. People requiring a second rapid test will need to return at a later date.
Meanwhile, the ACT has received only a small fraction of its rapid antigen test orders with health authorities unsure when more testing kits will arrive.
