Initiated by the South Western Sydney Local Health District the clinic will be located at Moss Vale Showground, 16 Illawarra Highway, Moss Vale, in the undercover area.
It will be open from 10am to 4pm each day.
Southern Highlands Police Station officer-in-charge Inspector John Klepczarek said the pop-up clinic was ideal for people who could not get to Bowral for testing.

He said a screening process would still apply but anyone who had flu-like symptoms was encouraged to seek testing.
"The service is free and if you have any doubt it is always best to err on the side of caution," he said.
Southern Highlands Division of General Practice spokesman Dr Vince Roche said that even though there was currently little covid now around the role of the pop up clinic was to "test the water' randomly in all sorts of locations.
"This time we have been picked, and then it will move on. It's a bit like an RBT," he said.
The Flu Assessment Clinics currently opened at Bowral and District Hospital in Ascot Road, Bowral, located in the outpatient's clinic will continue to operate in the Highlands.
The Bowral clinic is open week days from 10am to 5.30pm and on weekends and public holidays from 10am to 3pm.
