"Australians will be able to purchase self-testing kits for COVID-19 from pharmacies, convenience stores or online in about a month after the medical regulator announced it would approve them for home use from November 1."

The cost is discussed in this ABC article:

How much does a rapid antigen cost?
While it's free for any person to get a PCR test for COVID-19 at a clinic, it is not yet known how much an at-home rapid antigen test will cost.

However, rapid antigen tests are sold in other countries for a relatively low price.

In Singapore, rapid antigen tests cost as little at $10 and the government recently gave all households packs of home testing kits free of charge.

In the United Kingdom, a test can cost between 25 to 60 British pounds ($40 to $110) whereas in the US tests are priced as low as $US25 ($35).

In both the UK and US, you can buy a single test or a batch, and tests come with additional at-cost services such as an online consultation with a doctor.
