Drive-through testing is also available, bulk billed, via 4Cyte Pathology on Skipton Street, Redan.
Testing can also be done, via appointment, at the UFS respiratory clinic on the corner of Doveton and Dana streets.
Testing sites at Victoria Park and Ballarat Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre closed before the long weekend, following the closure of a testing clinic at Federation University in Mount Helen.
Ballarat Health Services acting chief Melanie Robertson said community demand and need for testing had dropped off as the city's COVID outbreak came under control and the end of lockdown.
Testing has also been in high demand at Central Highlands Rural Health respiratory clinics in Daylesford and Kyneton early this week. Anyone struggling to get an appointment is urged to try testing in Ballarat or Bendigo.
