Workplace drug testing in Carindale, handled confidentially.
Our workplace drug testing in Carindale supports ongoing and pre-employment screening, handled confidentially for every employee. Chain-of-custody is available, and results come through an accredited laboratory.
Workplace drug testing for every situation
Workplace drug testing isn’t only for new starters. Many employers have drug and alcohol policies that include random testing, testing for cause when there are safety concerns, testing after an incident or near miss, and testing before returning to work after time away. Each type has its own paperwork and timing, and getting it right protects both the employee and the employer.
At Carindale Doctors, we collect urine samples onsite in a private setting, following chain-of-custody procedures where your employer requires them. Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory, and results go to the party named on your paperwork. Every test is handled confidentially and respectfully.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides workplace drug testing inside Westfield Carindale for pre-employment, random, for-cause, post-incident and return-to-work testing. Urine samples are collected onsite with chain-of-custody where required and processed by an accredited laboratory. Testing is fee-for-service.
