Pre-employment drug test in Carindale, discreet and simple.
A pre-employment drug test in Carindale is a simple, discreet step before you start your new role. Samples are collected confidentially with chain-of-custody if required, and results are processed by an accredited laboratory.
Your pre-employment drug test, explained
Congratulations on your new role. If your employer has asked for a pre-employment drug test, it’s usually one of the last steps before your start date. At Carindale Doctors, the process is quick and discreet: you’ll show photo ID, provide a urine sample in a private bathroom, and we’ll complete any chain-of-custody paperwork your employer requires.
Your sample is sent to an accredited laboratory, and results usually take a few working days, so it’s best to book as soon as you receive your request. If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, you can declare them on the form, which helps the lab interpret your result correctly.
In short: Carindale Doctors offers discreet pre-employment drug tests inside Westfield Carindale, with private urine collection, chain-of-custody where required and accredited laboratory processing. Results usually take a few working days, so book early. Testing is fee-for-service.

Questions new starters often ask
These are common questions from people having a pre-employment test:
- Will my prescriptions affect the result?: declare them and the lab will take them into account.
- Can I drink lots of water first?: very dilute samples may need to be repeated.
- What if I can't provide a sample?: you can wait and drink a moderate amount of water.
- Will my new employer see my medical history?: no, only the test result.
We’re happy to answer any other questions before your test.
