Drug testing service in Carindale, you can rely on.
Our drug testing service in Carindale handles pre-employment and workplace urine screening with care and confidentiality. Chain-of-custody is available, and every sample is processed by an accredited laboratory.
How our drug testing service keeps results reliable
A drug test is only useful if everyone can trust the result. That trust comes from the process: confirming identity, collecting the sample properly, documenting every step and using a laboratory accredited to the relevant Australian standard. At Carindale Doctors, our drug testing service follows these steps carefully every time.
Where chain-of-custody is required, the sample is sealed and signed in front of you, with each person who handles it recorded until it reaches the lab. If an initial screen shows a possible positive, the laboratory performs confirmation testing, which distinguishes, for example, between prescribed medicines and other substances.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ drug testing service inside Westfield Carindale follows careful identity checks, proper collection, chain-of-custody where required and accredited laboratory processing with confirmation testing. Results are reliable and handled confidentially. Testing is fee-for-service.

Why the process matters
For employees, a reliable process protects you from false results. For employers, it means results can be acted on with confidence. Our Carindale team follows the same careful steps for every test.

Things that can affect a drug test
These factors can affect testing, which is why the process matters:
- Prescription medicines: some can show up on initial screens.
- Dilute samples: drinking too much water can make samples unsuitable.
- Sample handling: breaks in chain-of-custody can invalidate results.
- Timing: how long since a substance was used.
Confirmation testing by the lab helps make sure results are accurate.
