Anyone had a covid test in Aus , Ive been told it takes 24-72 hours for results?

Just had covid test what a shit fight took them an hour to check my detail two different people, swab test was few minutes not to uncomfortable , main worry was the guy handing out the face masks to the waiting people NO GLOVES if I didn't have covid I sure as hell have it now hahaha.
They are busy apparently so results may take 3-4 days to come back(busy they had had 7 months to sort this out). Now I need to stay home in quarantine till I get a call regarding the result. When I told them I need the result 72 hour before flying they said OK they will try to speed things up for me, Do I spend $1000 on flights hoping they speed things up, and why do I need quarantine if only testing for travel purposes.
Get me out of here and I won't come back.

There's one on Saturday leaving from Brisbane EVA airlines , I'm in Sydney and not buying tickets till I get my test results , so I'm not getting excited just yet.

The only other frequent flights are coming from mainland China and there is no way you can transit through there.

Taipei (Taiwan) isn’t allowing transiting, started in March. Maybe will allowing transiting in August (or not).

Yep no problem and wow got results back today amazing, thank doc also I need to get PCR added to the cert , I showed them your cert ,no more hurdles to jump just need to get on the plane Saturday.

Assume people are aware but Taipei IS ALLOWING TRANSIT... probably just an old post but .. YES>. I need to thank @Doc67 again. I am using his doctors note as a model. It's simple and clear. Just showing to the doctor's office as reference

Flight from Thailand was a charter but there seems to be a few flights from KL as of late.

Be careful with KL though, as I don't think you can currently transit between KLIA 1 (Malysian Airlines) and KLIA 2 (Air Asia) as you need to pass through immigration. Same scenario at Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi and Don Meung) and maybe Tokyo (Haneda and Narita) although unlike KL they are different airports.
