If an employee refuses or leaves the premises without completing the test, they are generally stood down pending further action, as outlined in your organisation’s policy.

We’ll support your team in communicating this clearly, calmly and fairly — with respect for all involved.

There are no lectures, no power trips, and no assumptions — just a straightforward, fair testing process that fits your workplace culture.

This approach not only helps staff feel more comfortable, but also reduces complaints, anxiety, and disruption — all of which make life easier for your management team.

We treat every person with care and discretion. Whether it’s a high-stress role, cultural consideration, or prior trauma, our screeners know how to approach with calm, clarity and respect — not confrontation. We’re trauma-informed and values-led.

We use highly reliable, Australian Standards–compliant tests for Saliva and Urine, used by professionals nationwide.

Our screening process follows strict quality control procedures to ensure integrity, including:

  • Chain of custody documentation

  • Temperature-checked and sealed kits

  • Observed or controlled collection environments

  • Immediate result interpretation with photographic or written record

No — these tests are designed to detect tampering or dilution. Trying to mask results (e.g., through mouthwash or delaying tactics) can actually trigger an invalid or suspicious result, which is grounds for further lab testing.

We prioritise fairness, transparency, and accuracy — not just for the business, but for the individual being tested.

Test control lines use colloidal gold technology with superior sensitivity, accuracy and precision. Cross-reactivity is pretested against most drugs and other substances.
