01 Industries

Pre-employment drug tests for safety-sensitive industries

Pre-employment drug tests are common in industries where safety is critical, such as construction, mining, transport and logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, security and some healthcare roles. Employers in these industries often require a specific type of test, chain-of-custody documentation and results from an accredited laboratory before your first shift.

At Carindale Doctors, we make sure your test is done right the first time. We check your request form, confirm the requirements, collect your sample privately and complete all the paperwork your employer needs. Getting it right avoids having to repeat the test and delaying your start.

In short: Carindale Doctors provides pre-employment drug tests inside Westfield Carindale for construction, mining, transport, warehousing and other safety-sensitive roles. We check your requirements, collect samples privately and complete chain-of-custody paperwork. Testing is fee-for-service.

02 Done right

Getting your test right the first time

Incorrect forms or missing documentation are the most common reasons tests need to be repeated. Our Carindale team checks everything before collection so your result arrives with your employer without delay.

If your employer also requires a pre-employment medical, ask whether both can be done at the same visit.

Learn more on our pre-employment drug test page.

03 Preparing

How to prepare for your pre-employment drug test

A little preparation helps your test go smoothly:

  • Bring photo ID: a licence or passport.
  • Bring your employer's form: with all details filled in.
  • List your medicines: including over-the-counter products.
  • Don't overdrink water: dilute samples may need repeating.

Allow 15 to 30 minutes for your appointment.

Attempting to tamper with or substitute a sample will result in an invalid test.
