  We present results from a circular polarisation survey for radio stars in the
Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS). RACS is a survey of the entire sky south
of $\delta=+41^\circ$ being conducted with the Australian Square Kilometre
Array Pathfinder telescope (ASKAP) over a 288 MHz wide band centred on 887.5
MHz. The data we analyse includes Stokes I and V polarisation products to an
RMS sensitivity of 250 $\mu$Jy PSF$^{-1}$. We searched RACS for sources with
fractional circular polarisation above 6 per cent, and after excluding imaging
artefacts, polarisation leakage, and known pulsars we identified radio emission
coincident with 33 known stars. These range from M-dwarfs through to magnetic,
chemically peculiar A- and B-type stars. Some of these are well known radio
stars such as YZ CMi and CU Vir, but 23 have no previous radio detections. We
report the flux density and derived brightness temperature of these detections
and discuss the nature of the radio emission. We also discuss the implications
of our results for the population statistics of radio stars in the context of
future ASKAP and Square Kilometre Array surveys.
