It will be open from 7.30am to 9pm for any close or casual contacts, people who have symptoms of COVID-19 and returned international travellers.
Children under five and their families can also get tested at Garran for any approved reason, including for pre-travel tests.
Testing sites across the ACT have been at capacity at various times in the last few weeks. ACT Minister for Health Rachel Stephen-Smith has said about 50 per cent of people getting tested are wanting to travel interstate.
